Description

Veduta tratta dalla celebre "Academia Todesca della Architectura, Scultura & Pittura: oder Theutsche Academie…" monumentale opera riccamente illustrata da centinaia di incisioni raffiguranti antichità, architettura e mitologia classica, edita a Norimberga e Francoforte tra il 1675 ed il 1680.

Incisione in rame, in ottimo stato di conservazione.

Joachim von SANDRART (Francoforte 1606 - Norimberga 1688)

German painter and treatises. Traveled extensively and was the most important German artist of the time but is remembered today almost exclusively for the "Teutsche Academie der Edlen Bau-Bild-und Mahlerey Künste" (German Academy of the noble arts of architecture, sculpture and painting) , published in Nuremberg in 1675-79 and followed by Latin edition in 1683. This treaty, organized into three main sections, is a source of great importance. The first part is an introduction to the art of architecture, painting and sculpture, mainly derived from earlier sources like Vasari and Van Mander. The second part, which contains biographies of artists, uses the same way as material from earlier sources, but also contains new material, especially on German artists and contemporary artists that the author knew personally (including Poussin and Lorrain). The third part contains information on art collections and a survey 'iconography, and finally there is also a chapter on the art of the Far East. Sandrart was the first director (1662) Academy of Nuremberg (the first in Germany).
