What are the historical canon books in art education? Like what

>baroco
*Baroque ("baroco" is a logical syllogism)

Anyway, here are some that I can think of (desu, I don't actually know much on this subject):
Aristotle - Poetics
Vitruvius - De Architectura
many renaissance painters wrote essays and books which I suppose were quite influential (Dürer, Leonardo's "Trattato della pittura"...)
critic Vissarion Belinsky had strong influence on Russian realism

But keep in mind that artists such as painters and musicians learned most of their craft from a professional who taught them. (Leonardo was taught by Verrocchio, for example, Beethoven by Haydn) So you probably won't understand an artist's education entirely from theoretical books they read.

thanks bro.

I'm aware of the atelier system, but I found it pretty weird to believe there wasn't simply some art books made by philosophers or some art admirer or any person after the printing press was invented and commonly avilable.

Let's say there should be something written in the 16-17 century, I refuse to believe people didn't wrote anything.
