cm. 17 x 24, xxxii-242 pp. con 29 tavv. f.t. Biblioteca di ?Nuncius? Questo libro studia la connessione in Leonardo tra fisiognomica, anatomia e arte come parte di una generale ricerca sulla forma del corpo umano. La ricerca di Leonardo viene inquadrata cronologicamente e studiata sullo sfondo della biologia scolastica. Viene anche indagato il non facile costituirsi di una iconografia fisiognomica che, a differenza della iconografia anatomica e macchinale, era prima del tutto assente. This book explores the relationship between physiognomy, anatomy and art in the oeuvre of Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo?s research is situated within the chronology of his own production, his broader research into the morphology of the human body and the heritage of scholastic biology. The author also demonstrates that Leonardo?s gradual invention of a physiognomical iconography was difficult because, in contrast to his anatomical and engineering studies, there was no pre-existing tradition on which to draw. 575 gr. xxxii-242 p..
