From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Slightly rubbed, somewhat stained edge, otherwise very good and clean. / Leicht berieben, etwas angeschmutzter Schnitt, sonst sehr gut und sauber. - During the fifteenth century drawing developed from a subsidiary role in the production of finished paintings to an art form in its own right. By 1500 it had become fundamental to the training and practice of the Italian artist and the primary means by which he explored new interests and discovered solutions to new representational problems. Few Italian drawings survive from the early fifteenth century, but a rapid increase in the production and use of paper has resulted in the survival of enough later fifteenth-century drawings to permit a reconstruction of their role in artistic practice. The book opens with a brief history of earlier drawings and a discussion of the various artistic problems which drawings could help to resolve. Through the works of the major fifteenthcentury draughtsmen ? Pisanello, Jacopo Bellini, Pollaiuolo, Ghirlandaio, Carpaccio and Leonardo da Vinci ? Francis Ames-Lewis then explores new types of drawing evolved during the century: the free sketch contrasting with the frozen control of the model-book, the exploratory study of the nude, the preparatory compositional sketch and the cartoon. He considers the problems and possibilities of different techniques and investigates studio practice and the relation of the drawing to the final work of art. This incisive introduction to the subject of early Renaissance drawings throws fresh light on one of the great centuries of Italian art, and by reflection illuminates further the activities of the masters of the High Renaissance. - Francis Ames-Lewis is Professor of the History of Renaissance Art at Birkbeck College, University of London.
