About The Book

<p><em>The Rise of the Image</em> reveals how illustrations have come to play a primary part in books on art and architecture. Italian Renaissance art is the main focus for this anthology of essays which analyse key episodes in the history of illustration from the sixteenth to the twentieth century. The authors raise new issues about the imagery in books on the visual arts by Leonardo da Vinci Giorgio Vasari Sebastiano Serlio Andrea Palladio Girolamo Teti and Andrea Pozzo. The concluding essays evaluate the roles of reproductive media including photography in Victorian and twentieth-century art books. Throughout images in books are considered as vehicles for ideas rather than as transparent passive visual forms dependent on their accompanying texts. Thus <em>The Rise of the Image</em> enriches our understanding of the role of prints in books on art.</p>
