About this book
Notes and precepts on the painter's craft, drawn from Leonardo da Vinci's writings and arranged under subject headings, fill this English edition of 1802. John Francis Rigaud translated the Italian text, and John Sidney Hawkins added a new life of Leonardo. The chapters start with what a young student should learn first, then cover drawing from casts and from nature, the proportions of the human body, the joints and muscles, and ways of keeping a face in memory. Twenty-three copper plates accompany the text.
