4.0 out of 5 stars
Very nice to read,

This review is from: A Treatise on Painting (Dover Fine Art, History of Art) (Paperback)
This book contains an collection of writings by Leonardo da Vinci. It functions as a reconstruction of da Vinci's views on (the making of) art, since he planned to write a comprehensive treatise on the subject but never did. What I did miss, though, is an introduction that offers some historical background information on da Vinci and the art theory of his days, to put the whole thing into context.
Either way, the book is a very nice addition to any art historical library (right next to Alberti's and Cennini's treatises)

fac simile leonardo's treatise on painting,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Treatise on Painting (Codex Urbinas Latinus 1270), Volume II: Facsimile (Hardcover)
This is the well known MacMahon edition of the codex Urbinas Lat 1270, which contains the famous Leonardo da Vinci's treatise on painting. One of this two volume set contains the fac simile of the original manuscript, so you can check the translation for accuracy on the real text (even if this text is not by Leonardo's hand, but only a XVIth copy of the lost Leonardo's manuscript).
