DOLCE, Lodovico.

Dialogo della pittura. Nel quale si ragiona della dignità di essa pittura, e di tutte le parti necessarie, che a perfetto pittore si acconuengono: con esempi di pittori antichi, & moderni: e nel fine si fa mentione delle virtù e delle opere del divin Titiano.Venice, Gabriel Giolito de Ferrari, 1557. Woodcut vignette on title-page. Later half vellum, title in ink on spine.

60 ll.First edition of a dialogue on painting between Pietro Aretino and John Francis Fabrini, written by Lodovico Dolce (1568). The discussion concentrates on the particular merits of works of art and artists, the question whether Venetian or Tuscan art is "better". It is mostly based on letters by Aretino. Vasari’s Vite names Michelangelo as the best painter in Italy, and he ignored Tizian in the first edition of his work. Dolce however compared Raphael, Michelangelo and Tizian, and he declares Tizian the best painter. This left Vasari with no choice, and he had to include Tizian in the second edition, but he still took the side of Michelangelo. Dolce also discusses the artistic depiction of antique and contemporary battles. He stresses the importance of attention for details, such as giving the soldiers clothing from the time of the battle. He influenced many artists, but most only partly followed his proposals, many continuing to paint the soldiers of biblical and classical battles in what were then modern uniforms.Good copy. Later flyleaves with library label and bookplate of Cesare Malfatti, old owner's inscription; library stamp on title-page, inscription of first owner in ink on verso title; slight water stains.l Adams D730.

DOLCE, Lodovico.

Dialogo ..., nel quale si ragiona delle qualità, diversità, e proprietà de i colori. Venice, Giovanni Battista & Melchiorre Sessa and brothers (colophon: 1565). Small 8vo (15 x 10.5 cm). With woodcut scrollwork Pegasus device on title-page, the word "Dilogo" in a woodcut scrollwork frame, 2 woodcut headpieces, 3 woodcut decorated initials (1 with a figure riding a griffon, 1 with a leopard(?)) and 3 fleurons. With the main text set in italic and preliminaries in roman. 18th-century half parchment (recased?).

87, [1] ll.First (and only early) edition of an important treatise on colour by Lodovico Dolce (1508-1568). Dolce's work is typical for the Venetian tradition. At first the Aristotelian propositions on colour are outlined. The main part of the treatise is concerned with the character, diversity and use of the individual colours. All colours are symbolically associated with a particular character, such as purity of heart with white. These associations were already known from earlier literature, and they are supported by interwoven texts drawn from classical, Christian and humanist sources. Lodovico Dolce, a celebrated Italian humanist, made significant contributions to the Italian language and literature. A friend of Titian, he had devoted an earlier book to the subject of art and artists: Dialogo della pittura ... intitolato l'Aretino, 1557. His present Colori was influenced by Telesio and Morati and in turn influenced Occolti and Rinaldi. It provides insights into Renaissance ideas about the interpretation of colour.With the armorial bookplate of Francisco Riccardi de Vernaccia, a Florentine Count and patron of the arts, active ca. 1780-1794, the library stamp of the bibliophile Gustavo Camillo Galletti (1805-1868) in Florence on title-page and a later bookplate with the crowned HL monogram of Horatius or Orazio Landau (1883 sale?). Slightly foxed, but otherwise in very good condition.l Adams D-731; ICCU, CNCE 17387; Kemp, The science of art, pp. 272-273.

Le trasformationi, ... . In questa quarta impressione da lui in molti luoghi ricorrette.Venice, Gabriele Giolito de Ferrari, 1557. 4to. With title in a richly designed architectural woodcut frame, a half-page woodcut hemispherical map of the Americas, Europe and Africa and 82 large woodcut illustrations (plus 2 repeats) with fine ornamental and grotesque borders at either side. Contemporary(?) Polish(?) blind-tooled calf. 17th- or 18th-century endpapers.

[16], 309, [3] pp.Early Venice edition, richly illustrated, of Lodovico Dolce’s complete translation, in 8-line verses, of Ovid’s Metamorphoses, first published in 1553, with a second edition in the same year. Mortimer discusses both 1553 editions extensively and adds some information on the 1555 and present 1557 editions. The first has 83 woodcuts plus 11 repeats, but 6 were originally intended to illustrate a Bible, not an Ovid edition. The second edition adds 4 new blocks but omits 5 of the 6 Bible illustrations to make 82 plus a few repeats. The second edition also added ornamental woodcut strips on the sides of some woodcuts to fit the space better. Mortimer notes that the third edition of 1555 and the present fourth of 1557 contain the same woodcut illustrations and decorations as the second 1553 edition. As noted above, all but one of the present 82 woodcut blocks had been especially designed for Dolce’s Ovid translation. Giolito’s artist chose a number of subjects that had not been illustrated before, and the blocks were carefully cut. The diagram of the winds that appears in many early Ovid editions, has here as in the first edition grown into a hemispherical map covering the Americas, Europe and Africa, with what is now the United States labelled “Nueva Hispania”. The historiated initials of various sizes are also of interest, the two largest series being especially finely cut. Our copy is bound in an interesting and very attractive, if somewhat crude, binding. Armorial bookplate on the front paste-down: bird standing on a mound, supported by two stags, the whole with a marquis’s(?) crown. In good condition. Binding rubbed and slightly damaged, re-cased with new endpapers; interior spotless.l BMC STC Italian, p. 482; Brunet II, 789; ICCU CNCE 64382; Mortimer, Italian 342 note; USTC 845814; cf.
