• Resumen

  • The four volumes of the Varia commensuración para la escultura y architectura (1585�87) of the Spanish silversmith and sculptor Juan de Arfe y Villafañe represent an extensive compilation of Italian art techniques of the Renaissance. The sources for the Libro segundo, which includes systematic explanations on the theory of proportions, the skeleton and musculature have yet to be discovered. Its didactic and illustrative structure is unique in the context of sixteenth-century literature. The general layout and some details of the illustrations of the first three chapters seem to be derived from the Windsor convolute of anatomical drawings by Leonardo da Vinci.
