One gathering slightly protruding in vol. 2. Internally excellent.; Complete with 77 plates; 4to 11" - 13" tall; "One of the key figures in establishing the new aesthetic at the Qing court was the Italian Jesuit Giuseppe Castiglione 1688-1766 whose illusionist approach to painting revolutionized Qing court art. Castiglione served at the Qing court for fifty years working under the Chinese name Lang Shining. A master of vividly naturalistic draftsmanship and large-scale compositions in Italy and Portugal he had worked as a muralist Castiglione successfully combined Western realism with traditional Chinese conventions of brushwork in a manner that suited the imperial taste. Descriptively complex technically finished and monumental in scale Castiglione's vividly realistic painting style perfectly served the emperor's documentary purposes as well as his predilection for self-promotion on a grandiose scale".

VG some modest shelfwear/period poi to half-title page/Abt VG backstrip quite sun-tanned/extremity wear with largish piece lacking from rear panel lower left corner. x 4 456 pp. List of Editions pp. 427 - 432. Index at rear. 8vo. 8-3/4" x 5-7/8" <br/><br/>The Book of the Courtier by Baldassare Castiglione is a lengthy philosophical dialogue on the topic of what constitutes an ideal courtier or in the third chapter court lady worthy to befriend and advise a Prince or political leader. The book quickly became enormously popular and was assimilated by its readers into the genre of prescriptive courtesy books or books of manners dealing with issues of etiquette self-presentation and morals particularly at princely or royal courts books such as Giovanni Della Casa's Galateo 1558 and Stefano Guazzo's The civil conversation 1574. The Book of the Courtier was much more than that however having the character of a drama an open-ended philosophical discussion and an essay. It has also been seen as a veiled political allegory. It offers a poignantly nostalgic evocation of an idealized milieu — that of the small courts of the High Renaissance which were vanishing in the Italian Wars — with a reverent tribute to the friends of Castiglione's youth in particular the chastely married Duchess Elisabetta Gonzaga of Urbino to whom Castiglione had addressed a sequence of Platonic sonnets and who died in 1526. The work was composed over the course of twenty years beginning in 1508 and first published in 1528 by the Aldine Press in Venice just before the author's death."
