Leon Battista Alberti in Exile
Book • 2025
This book delves into the life of Leon Battista Alberti, a Renaissance polymath, and how his experiences in exile shaped his groundbreaking work 'De pictura', the first modern treatise on painting.
It challenges the conventional narrative that Alberti's work was primarily influenced by his time in Florence, instead highlighting the impact of his time in Rome, Padua, Bologna, and northern Europe.
