Gombrich--one of the most influential art historians of the last century--explores the relations between ends, means, form, and function in art, and offers a stimulating interpretation of the history of mural painting from ancient Egypt to the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaking Leonardo da Vinci's polemics against the mural painters of his day as his starting point, Gombrich illustrates the dual process by which the changing ends of art in ritualistic, didactic, narrative, or decorative contexts can lead to the development of fresh means which, in their turn, may influence the ends for which painting is used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 96\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.45 x 7.14 x 4.83 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 28, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47914567041272,"sku":"9780500027448","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0698\/5629\/7208\/files\/Ue5W1sUQri9780500027448.webp?v=1782954229","url":"https:\/\/barneysbooksellers.com\/products\/e-h-gombrich-on-fresco-painting-hardcover","provider":"Barney's Book Sellers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
