Leon Battista Alberti was one of the most important humanist
scholars of the Italian Renaissance. Active in
mid-fifteenth-century Florence, he was an architect, theorist, and
author of texts on perspective and painting. Leon Battista Alberti:
On Painting is a cardinal work that revolutionized Western art. In
this volume Rocco Sinisgalli presents a new English translation and
critical examination of Alberti's seminal text. Dr Sinisgalli
reverses the received understanding of the relationship between the
Italian and Latin versions of Alberti's treatise by demonstrating
that Alberti wrote it first in Italian and then translated it into
a polished Latin over the course of several decades. This volume is
richly illustrated to help demonstrate how Alberti understood
optics and art.
