Seeing and Knowing is a non-fiction book written by Bernard Berenson. It is a collection of essays that explore the nature of art and the role of the art historian in understanding and interpreting it. The book is divided into two parts: ""Seeing"" and ""Knowing."" In the first section, Berenson examines the visual components of art, such as color, form, and composition, and how they contribute to our perception of a work of art. In the second section, he delves into the historical and cultural context of art, discussing the importance of understanding the artist's background and the social and political climate in which they worked. Throughout the book, Berenson draws on his extensive knowledge of Italian Renaissance art, using examples from the works of artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael to illustrate his points. Seeing and Knowing is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the complex relationship between art and the viewer, and the ways in which we can deepen our understanding and appreciation of it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
