Description

This illustrated book titled "Regards sur la Peinture" number 30, dedicated to Dürer, is presented in a softcover with a glossy color print. The cover prominently features a detailed reproduction of a self-portrait by the German artist Albrecht Dürer, highlighting the fineness of his features and the richness of his hair, typical of the Renaissance. The title "REGARDS SUR LA PEINTURE" appears in green letters on a white background, framed in a cartouche, with the number "30" in the upper right, indicating the series number.

At the bottom of the cover, the name "DÜRER" is printed in white, accompanied by a blue cartouche bearing the inscription "EDITIONS FABBRI". The overall visual suggests a late 20th-century edition, with a refined aesthetic and a clear layout, suitable for popularizing art history. The surface of the cover shows a slightly glossy effect, probably due to a lamination process.

The visible side shows no major apparent defects: the cover appears clean, without visible folds or tears. The corners are crisp, with no pronounced signs of wear. The image is perfectly centered, with quality printing faithful to the standards of educational art publications.

This issue is dedicated to Dürer, an emblematic figure of German painting and engraving. It is part of a thematic collection published by Fabbri, aimed at introducing art history through illustrated monographs. The magazine-like format, with a soft and glossy cover, facilitates consultation and display on a shelf specialized in art or cultural history books.

The cover only shows the front cover; no details of the spine, flap, or interior are visible in the provided photo. Issue number 30 of this series is thus aimed at any amateur of artistic iconography or documentation on the Renaissance.
