Fundamentales Regulae Artis Pictoriae Et Sculpt[urae]

Hondius, Hendrik [Hrsg.] · 1600 · 32 pictures

A 1600 German-Latin artists' instruction book edited by Hendrik Hondius, compiled as a teaching manual of fundamental rules for painting and sculpture. Its pictures are fine engravings of isolated studies: a turned head with curled hair, a draped head, forearms and hands in several poses, and a mythological scene of figures in clouds. A designer can take from them a set of ready-made figure and drapery studies for gesture, foreshortening and cloth folds.
