1697 ART Albrecht DURER Human Anatomy Proportion Drawing Illustrated ENGLISH

Albrecht Durer was a famous 15th-century painter and humanist. His engravings have become some of the most desirable Renaissance illustrations and have been repeatedly analyzed and studied by landscape and human-form artists. One of Durer's best written works was his instructional treatise on human proportion. This work provided direction on how to accurate draw the human form, both male and female figures and all parts of the body. "On Human Proportion" was one of the leading works of its kind even into the 18th-century.

This 1697 edition of Durer's "Human Proportion" was published in London and features 19 impressive full-page engravings, each with dozens of figures and examples. This particular edition is exceedingly rare! A must have!
