Description of  The Human Figure: The Complete Dresden Sketchbook

0486210421 pdf This incredible collection contains drawings in which Durer experimented with many methods: the 'anthropometric system,' learned from Leonardo the 'exempeda' method, known to most as the man inscribed in a circle, the human figure in motion and much more. While some drawings are theoretical, many more are life studies that rank among the finest ever done. 170 plates.
