Konstanz to Jerusalem_ Konrad von Grünenberg,1487
I love how so much emphasis in much medieval art was placed on imagination rather than accuracy, and yet there’s such a compact, concise “feeling” of each city. Long before you pick out the different details, you get a clear sense of place.Beautiful and inspiring. Book on line

DRAWING_TECHNIQUES
Andreas Vesalius _” De humani corporis fabrica”_1543
The book contains a detailed examination of the organs and a complete human body structure. For this purpose effected many dissections of cadavers to illustrate their presentations. This would not have been possible without the many advances that occurred in the Renaissance, this stage raised a new way of seeing the world and human beings. This produces a renewal in the sciences natural and human, including developments in the field of art and technique of printing. The impulse to the anatomical study, also came the art, painters and sculptors who, with the humanistic spirit, wanted to know the human body to represent it in all its beauty. Book on lineI admire these pictures, how to conceive and transmit knowledge of anatomy, under a model of illusionist perspective where the body is expressed visually in its entirety with the same rigour and meticulousness with which an elevation in perspective would show the structure of a building.
