Antique Book – Institutiones Geometricae By Albrecht Durer
An antique and rare book by Albrecht Dürer (1471-1528) named Institutiones geometricae, a landmark study on the theory of art, introducing the "Art of Measurement" to a northern Europe audience from Italy during the Renaissance. Dürer explains the application of practical geometry to drawings and paintings and to be applied to architecture, painting and print by designing both gothic and roman letters as well as ornamental forms in general. Durer's monumental work was addressed not only to artists but also to sculptors, architects, goldsmiths, stonemasons and other craftsmen. The work was first published in German Underweysung der Messung, Nuremberg, 1525.
This book was published a few years after the original edition and is signed 1538.
The pages and inserts are all in very good condition. The binding is from the early 19th century and is in poor condition.
For these reasons this antique and rare book are in the affordable price offered.
