Livre d'Architecture de Jaques Androuet Du Cerceau, (Ed.1615) (Arts)
by Androuet Du Cerceau J
Il volume indaga l'accoglienza critica e l'interpretazionedelle architetture e delle opere a stampa di Andrea Palladio da parte di architetti e teorici dell'architettura nel Veneto del XVIII secolo. In particolare, esamina una serie di polemiche sui principi di ragione e tradizione, imitazione e invenzione, soggettività e universalità che hanno contribuito a formare una nuova comprensione del lavoro di Palladio e della sua eredità nel tardo Settecento. Questi dibattiti dimostrano non solo la con...
Hampton Court Palace, to the south-west of London, is one of the most famous and magnificent buildings in Britain. The original palace was begun by Cardinal Wolsey, but it soon attracted the attention of his Tudor king and became the centre of royal and political life for the next 200 years. In this new, lavishly illustrated history, the stories of the people who have inhabited the palace over the last five centuries take centre stage. Here Henry VIII and most of his six wives held court, Shakes...

The book examines the mos...
Proportion in Architecture & A Theory of Proportion (Keepahead Press Architectural Theory Texts, #2)
by Heinrich Wolfflin and August Thiersch
In Humanism and the Urban World, Caspar Pearson offers a profoundly revisionist account of Leon Battista Alberti's approach to the urban environment as exemplified in the extensive theoretical treatise De re aedificatoria (On the Art of Building in Ten Books), brought mostly to completion in the 1450s, as well as in his larger body of written work. Past scholars have generally characterized the Italian Renaissance architect and theorist as an enthusiast of the city who envisioned it as a rationa...
The Renaissance was a diverse phenomenon, marked by innovation and economic expansion, the rise of powerful rulers, religious reforms, and social change. Encompassing the entire continent, Renaissance Architecture examines the rich variety of buildings that emerged during these seminal centuries of European history. Although marked by the rise of powerful individuals, both patrons and architects, the Renaissance was equally a time of growing group identities and communities - and architecture...
Material Bernini (Visual Culture in Early Modernity)
Bringing together established and emerging specialists in seventeenth-century Italian sculpture, Material Bernini is the first sustained examination of the conspicuous materiality of Bernini's work in sculpture, architecture, and paint. The various essays demonstrate that material Bernini has always been tied (whether theologically, geologically, politically, or in terms of art theory) to his immaterial twin. Here immaterial Bernini and the historiography that sustains him is finally confronted...

Le Manuelin (Guides Thematiques Mwnf)
by Pedro Dias, Dalila Rodrigues, and Fernando Grilo
When Allison Levy, a Renaissance scholar on sabbatical in Florence, saw an advertisement for an apartment in the Palazzo Rucellai, she couldn't believe her luck. An architectural masterwork that can be found in every art history textbook and travel guide to Italy, it was a revered pilgrimage site for her, but it wasn't until she dwelled within its walls that the palazzo began to yield its secrets. Witty and illuminating, Levy's colorful prose brings six centuries of the palace's designers and de...
A luxurious and definitive exploration of how and why the Renaissance flourished in Italy for two centuries. The idea of “renaissance,” or rebirth, arose in Italy as a way of reviving the art, science, and scholarship of the Classical era. It was also powered by a quest to document artistic “reality” according to newly discovered scientific and mathematical principles. By the late 15th century, Italy had become the recognized European leader in the fields of painting, architecture, and sculpt...
"There may not be any book on architecture so delightful to dip into; one wishes there were a pocket edition to take on an Italian vacation-not only for its information and vision but for such pleasant reminders as that the citizens of Treviso carried Tullio Lombardo's friezes through the town in triumph before they were attached to a building."-D.
