More about the book
Focusing on practical application, this translation of Leon Battista Alberti's treatise on sculpting serves as a hands-on manual for artisans. Unlike previous versions that treat it as a historical document, Jason Arkles' edition includes insightful commentary relevant to modern studio practices. It features additional illustrations and diagrams that explain the 'diffinitore,' Alberti's innovative measuring device, which laid the groundwork for contemporary pointing machines. This resource aims to bridge the gap between historical techniques and today's sculpting methods.
