Leon Battista Alberti (1404-1472) is known for being the first to develop a theory of perspective. In addition to his work as an architect and art theorist, Alberti was also a prolific writer, philosopher, engineer and moralist whose thought changed the course of history, for he is traditionally regarded as the first Renaissance Man.
This book provides readers with the most comprehensive summary possible of the work of the “universal genius of the First Renaissance.”
Texts by Alberti published for the first time in French.
