About This Item
Turnhout Brepols 2005. Paperback, XII+261 pages ., 157 b/w ill., 220 10 280 mm. ISBN 9782503518138. In this publication, attending is devoted to the technical aspects in the work of Hans Vredeman de Vries. Throughout his long career, he has perfected his skills as a painter, builder, fortification engineer and hydraulic engineer. Those technical aspects are considered non and so much as discrete characteristics, but rather equally a particular way in which this tardily sixteenth- century artist from the Low Countries typically dealt with a number of disciplines of the technical and applied arts. Indeed, from a predominantly traditional approach to his piece of work, as well much emphasis has until now been placed on his highly personal contribution to the dissemination of ornamental elements, whereby typical Renaissance characteristics, such as technical innovation and engineering, are relegated to the background. During Hans Vredeman de Vries'southward lifetime, attempts began to be made to define the arts and the sciences. Defining the demarcation criteria of the sciences would proceed to gain in importance especially at the beginning of the seventeenth century. With his work, Vredeman de Vries raised Architectura together with all its technical acquisitions to the level of both the Artes and the Scienciae. Attempts were even made to constitute some kind of hierarchy. Nonetheless the artist never strictly separated fine and practical arts, nor did he explicitly distinguish betwixt theory and do. It was the intention of Vredeman de Vries to aim towards an equilibrium between the sciences and the arts. A team of 13 distinguished fine art and architectural historians from North America, Germany, the netherlands and Kingdom of belgium focus upon Vredeman de Vries's diverse manifestations of cognition: urbanism, fortification works, hydraulics, interior decoration, architecture (its applied and technical aspects), inlay work and furniture, tapestry and the utilize of scientific instruments. One writer points out that the similarity between such 'technical' practices and the structure of, for case, sixteenth-century rhetorical practices, forces us to consider Vredeman de Vries not merely as an architect, an engineer, or a designer, simply above all as an experimenter in multiple disciplines and various fields.
