Description

A lucid biographical study of Leon Battista Alberti (1404-72), one of the most original and exciting figures of the Italian Renaissance. He wrote the first modern treatise on painting, the first modern manual of classical architecture, and a powerful set of "dialogues" about the princely families of Florence. Rediscovering the forgotten aesthetics of classical architecture, Alberti described the artistic revolution in Florence that initiated the Renaissance. This book offers a compelling portrait of Alberti, shedding light on his intellectual prowess and the cities and courts where he made his mark.
