The Rise of the Image reveals how illustrations have come to play a
primary part in books on art and architecture. Italian Renaissance
art is the main focus for this anthology of essays which analyse
key episodes in the history of illustration from the sixteenth to
the twentieth century. The authors raise new issues about the
imagery in books on the visual arts by Leonardo da Vinci, Giorgio
Vasari, Sebastiano Serlio, Andrea Palladio, Girolamo Teti and
Andrea Pozzo. The concluding essays evaluate the roles of
reproductive media, including photography, in Victorian and
twentieth-century art books. Throughout, images in books are
considered as vehicles for ideas rather than as transparent,
passive visual forms, dependent on their accompanying texts. Thus
The Rise of the Image enriches our understanding of the role of
prints in books on art.
