1698 History of ART Pierre Monier Tuscany Rome Architecture Painting Sculpting

 

A rare late 17^th-century printing of Pierre Monier’s “History of Art.’ This instructional and historical treatise covers three main topics of art:

• Design of the human figure
• Fall of the Arts
• Reestablishment of Arts

These sections cover artistic influences from around the Western world including architecture, sculpting, and painting, much of which came from the designs and techniques used in Tuscany and Venice.

 

While Pierre Monier was a French painter, he focused on art that he encountered while traveling in Rome in the mid-1660s. While back in Paris after his travels, he was commissioned to complete various works of art, all of which were religious-themed pieces for church and included the practices he gained while in Italy.
