Description
The Rise of the Image provides a deep look into how illustrations became a central part of books focused on art and architecture.

Readers will explore new perspectives on the imagery found in works by masters such as Leonardo da Vinci, Giorgio Vasari, Sebastiano Serlio, Andrea Palladio, Girolamo Teti, and Andrea Pozzo. The collection also evaluates the impact of reproductive media, including the role of photography, in art books throughout the Victorian era and into the twentieth century. This book is an essential resource for those studying the evolution of graphic arts and the history of visual communication in academic publishing.
