Leonardo da Vinci's written observations about painting rank among
the most remarkable from any era. Never edited by the author
himself into a single coherent book, these writings were compiled
many years after Leonardo's death into the principal repository of
his practical thoughts on the techniques of drawing and painting.
"A Treatise on Painting" begins with precise instructions on
drawing the human body and then moves on to techniques of rendering
motion. Other topics include perspective, composition, the
expression of various emotions, creating effects of light and
shadow, and color. With 48 anatomical drawings by Nicholas Poussin
and geometrical and architectural designs by Leon Battista Alberti,
this famous volume remains one of the world's most useful and
valuable art instruction books.
