Treatise on Measurement 1525

This page from Albrecht Durer's *Treatise on Measurement* (1525) demonstrates his interest in the mathematical principles of design and how they can be used to create beautiful and harmonious forms, specifically in letterforms. The page features detailed diagrams showing the construction of the letter "A" using geometric shapes and mathematical ratios. This page illustrates Durer's belief that art and science are intricately connected, a concept that was central to the Renaissance era. It is a fascinating example of the meticulous approach taken by artists of this time to understand and apply the principles of perspective and proportion.
