[PU: Cambrige ; London : MIT Press], XXVII, 561 p., ill. Original cloth with dust jacket. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Slightly gaping binding, minimal staining on bottom edge, otherwise very good and clean. / Leicht klaffender Einband, minimale Anschmutzung auf Fußschnitt, sonst sehr gut und sauber. - These essays by one of America's foremost historians of art and architecture range over theory and criticism, the search for connections between art and science in the Renaissance, and specific works of Renaissance architecture. They characterize the broad scope of James Ackerman's contribution as well as its depth in sixteenth-century studies. The largest group of essays, dealing with the character and history of Renaissance architecture, are models of art historical scholarship in their direct approach to the essentials of a building, the problems faced by the architect, and the social and intellectual context in which these should be viewed. Another group of essays explores encounters between the traditions of artistic practice and early optics and color theory, redefining the transactions between the seer and the seen that are at the core of pictorial representation in the Renaissance. The three essays that begin this collection, writings on art theory, criticism, and methods of art history, bring to light the intellectual and moral concerns—the search for ways to judge art without absolutes—that underlie all of Ackerman's art historical work. - James S. Ackerman was Professor of Fine Arts at Harvard University from 1961 to 1983 when he was named Arthur Kingsley Porter Professor of Fine Arts, a chair he held until his retirement in 1990.
