内容简介 Artist, architect, poet and philosopher, Leon Battista Alberti revolutionized the history of art with his theories of perspective in On Painting (1435). Inspired by the order and beauty inherent in nature, his groundbreaking work sets out the principles of distance, dimension and proportion; instructs the painter on how to use the rules of composition, representation, light and colour to create work that is graceful and pleasing to the eye; and stipulates the moral and artistic pre-requisites of the successful painter. On Painting had an immediate and profound influence on Italian Renaissance artists including Ghiberti, Fra Angelico and Veneziano and on later figures such as Leonardo da Vinci, and remains a compelling theory of art.

作者介绍 Leon Battista Alberti 文艺复兴早期意大利的人文主义者。他是作家、艺术家、建筑师、诗人、神父、语言学家和哲学家。在接任罗马教廷秘书后,1438年受人鼓励将他的天分转向建筑领域。其所设计的佛罗伦萨鲁切拉宫和新教堂的正立面以比例和谐着称于世。曼图亚圣安德烈亚教堂(1472年动工)的凯旋拱门样式是文艺复兴初期的经典作品。阿尔贝蒂不但注重建筑物的实用方面,也是走在文艺复兴建筑和艺术前端的理论家,以整理直线透视原理而闻名(《论绘画》〔On Painting, 1435〕)。他是文艺复兴时期的全才型人物,也致力于道德哲学、制图学和密码学方面的研究。
