DÜRER, Albrecht (1471-1528)

Pictoribus, fabris erariis ac lignariis quatuor his suarum institutionum geometricarum libris, lineas, superficies et solida corpora tractavit. Paris : Chrestien Wechel, 1532.

Première traduction latine de ce traité de Dürer sur la perspective et ses applications possibles. L'édition originale date de 1525. L'ouvrage s'inscrit dans un mouvement général en Europe, dont représentants les plus célèbres sont Brunelleschi, Alberti, et Pietro della Francesca. Dürer est cependant précurseur sur ces questions en Europe du nord, et c’est par ce texte que ces principes nouveaux se diffusent, pour des applications diverses ; artistes, sculpteurs, peintres, mais aussi tailleurs de pierre, maçons, orfèvres, typographes…



USTC 181404 ; Brunet, II, col. 912-913 ; Graesse, II, p. 452 ; PMM, n°54 (pour l’édition originale de 1525) : « The Renaissance established a completely different aesthetic theory : the work of art as a representation of a natural object. The connexion of the beautiful with the natural, of the work of art with what is correct was a typical concept of the Renaissance. In the illustration of these principles lies the great historical importance of Dürer’s theoretical writings. They were the foundation of accepted aesthetic dogma until the nineteenth century”.



In-folio (302 x 204 mm). Marque de l’imprimeur au titre et au verso du dernier feuillet. Illustrations : 3 compositions à mi-page de Dürer et très nombreux diagrammes et autres éléments gravés sur bois, à double, pleine, mi-page ou encore dans le texte : vues en perspective, alphabets…

Reliure signée de Brugalla, datée 1947 : maroquin vert sombre, dos à nerfs, lettre dorée, gardes de papier marbré, tranches dorées (dos passé), étui.

Provenance : en marge supérieure du titre, mention « LS » à l’encre brune -- ex-libris Manuel de Foronda y Gomez.
