Filippo Di Ser Brunellesco (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Filippo Di Ser BrunellescoIT is very difficult to Obtain enough data for an authentic life Of Filippo di Ser Brunellesco. In writing the life of a painter, his own works are before us just as he painted them, and they unerringly reveal the genius and character of the man. A sculptor's statues and reliefs also show us visibly his own handiwork untouched by any sacrilegious hand but the gentle one of time; the music Of a composer who lived a hundred years ago, is with us still as he conceived it; and the thoughts Of the poet or philosopher are embalmed in their own language within the leaves Of their books.But with an architect like Brunelleschi the case is different.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
