Trattato della pittura
Trattato della pittura is a 1804 Italian treatise on painting by Leonardo, edited by Carlo Amoretti and printed in Milan by the Società Tipografica de' Classici Italiani for students of art. Its pictures are small engraved plates of nude male figures in active poses, printed sideways on the page with Roman-numeral captions, so a designer might take their anatomical gesture, muscle structure and dynamic figure groupings as studies of the body in motion.
