About the Book

This work provides an account of how, since early modern times, illustrations have increasingly played a primary part in books on art and architecture. Italian art of the period provides here a case study for the history of illustration from the 16th to the 20th century. The essayists consider illustrated texts on the art of Leonardo, Vasari, Serlio, Palladio, Teti and Andrea Pozzo and address issues seldom before covered. Each book illustration is carefully repositioned as a vehicle for ideas rather than as a transparent, passive visual form, dependent on its accompanying texts. In so doing, the contributors change completely our understanding of the role of images in books on art.

Table of Contents:
Contents: Introduction, Rodney Palmer; 17th-century illustrations for the chapters on motion in Leonardo's Trattato, Juliana Barone; 'The outer man tends to be a guide to the inner': the woodcut portraits in Vasari's Lives as parallel texts, Sharon Gregory; 'Of little or even no importance to the architect': on absent ideals in Serlio's drawings in the sixth book on domestic architecture, Vaughan Hart; 'Brevity without obscurity': text and image in the architectural treatises of Daniele Barbaro and Andrea Palladio, Robert Tavernor; 'The beauty and majesty of images': Pietro da Cortona's Barberini Ceiling in Teti's Aedes Barberinae, Thomas Frangenberg; 'All is very plain, upon inspection of the figure': the visual method of Andrea Pozzo's Perspectiva Pictorum et Architectorum, Rodney Palmer; Photography in 19th-century art publications, Anthony Hamber; 'Still a makeshift'?: Changing representations of the Renaissance in 20th-century art books, Valerie Holman; Index.

Rodney Palmer, Thomas Frangenberg

Review :
'...well produced, with lavish use of illustration...transforms the study of illustration from dilettante frippery to the subject of serious scholarship. This is a rigorous and enterprising contribution to a new field.' Alastair Sooke, Times Literary Supplement '... a welcome addition to the literature and a significant contribution to the subject.' Paul Goldman, The Library 'The contributors engage with a complex aspect of the first 500 years of the history of the book and reveal a relatively little studied aspect of visual culture... familiar material re-presented in innovative contexts... Ashgate's 'Reinterpreting classicism' series, of which this book is one, is exactly the kind of project which the Warburg Institute was established to undertake.' Nigel Llewellyn, the Art Newspaper
