Whether this book is to be of use to you or not, depends wholly on your reason for wishing to learn to draw. If you desire only to possess a graceful accomplishment, to be able to converse in a fluent manner about drawing, or to amuse yourself listlessly in listless hours, I cannot help you: but if you wish to learn drawing that you may be able to set down clearly, and usefully, records of such things as cannot be described in words, either to...

Rubens & the Eloquence of Drawing examines the formative graphic practice of the preeminent Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) within the context of early modern concepts of eloquence, especially in the early 17th-century literary and philosophical circles of Justus Lipsius (1547-1606).

If these intrinsic meanings are explained and further developed, then the philosophy of art practice is significantly...
