Description
Francisco de Hollanda's treatise on painting, completed in 1548, is a foundational work that explores the theory and practice of art. In contrast to Italian texts of the time, which focused on the imitation of nature, Hollanda develops a unique perspective on the painter as an original creator guided by divine inspiration. The book consists of two parts: Book I, the first Portuguese treatise on painting, and Book II, "Dialogues in Rome," which records conversations with prominent artists and thinkers of the time. This intimate intellectual portrait of Michelangelo offers valuable insights into the artistic and philosophical debates of 16th-century Italy. Published by Pennsylvania State University Press in 2013, this edition provides a unique window into the world of Renaissance art and thought.
