In-8 p. (mm. 220x135), 5 volumi, mezza pelle coeva, filetti e tit. oro al dorso, pp. 607; 666; 758; 715; 720. Nell’opera “si dimostra come, e per chi le belle arti di pittura, scultura e architettura, lasciata la rozzezza delle maniere greca e gotica, si siano in questi secoli ridotte all’antica loro perfezione”. Questa edizione porta in Appendice la ristampa della “Vita del Bernini” (che l’A. scrisse per commissione di Cristina regina di Svezia). Così Schlosser Magnino, p. 466: “E’ questa in realtà la prima storia universale dell’arte figurativa in Europa, scritta in uno stile impeccabile, sì da esser compresa fra i testi di lingua della Crusca.. Si comincia con l’avo leggendario Cimabue (1260) fino ad arrivare a Fra Mattio Preti, detto il Pittor Calabrese (1670).. Baldinucci ha riunito documenti e altri manoscritti in quantità rilevante, e anche se la sua critica è talvolta discutibile, con questo uso di relazioni autentiche egli si avvicina al tipo del moderno storico dell’arte”. Cfr. CLIO VII,5348 - Gamba,1759 cita le varie ediz. a partire dalla prima in 6 volumi del 1681-1728. Qualche lieve fiorit., ma complessivam. esemplare ben conservato.<br> "Il fiorentino Filippo Baldinucci (1624-96), letterato e scrittore di arte, fu consulente del Card. Leopoldo de’ Medici e ne ordinò la collezione di disegni, ora agli Uffizi. Scrisse una serie di biografie di artisti, compilò il Vocabolario Toscano dell’Arte del Disegno (1681) e a lui dobbiamo la migliore e più accurata biografia del Bernini. Fu anche incisore e collezionista di disegni (ora al Louvre)". Cfr. Diz. Treccani,II, p. 35.

Hughes is famous for his unforgettably rich and accomplished landscapes, primarily depicting the British Columbia coast. His works now command the highest auction prices ever paid for a living Canadian artist, confirmation of his emergence as a major figure on the international art scene... The passionate collector has always been central to the emergence of important artists. In this extraordinarily personal account, the world of a collector comes alive. Here are 76 Hughes sketches, paintings and prints, in colour and black and white - only a handful previously published in book form - accompanied by a text rich with anecdotes about the joys, frustrations and satisfactions of the chase. This is a very human story of art as master - one which sheds important new light on Hughes and his work." - from dust jacket.
