Leonardo Benevolo 54723 - The Architecture of the Renaissance. Two Volumes

Title: The Architecture of the Renaissance. Two Volumes
Description: Westview Press, 1978. Linnen band met stofomslag. Pp: 1077. Volume I and II. This extensively illustrated study opens with an account of the movement's founders: Brunelleschi, arbiter of Florence's building problems, and Alberti, who supplied the new architecture with a suitable theoretical foundation. The editor considers the general effect of the new artistic culture on the changes that took place first in fifteenth-century Italian cities and then throughout Europe. The relationship between the development of architecture and that of other related fields, especially the great advances in painting and sculpture, receives special attention. Also considered are the effects of the beginnings of modern science and the general economic and social changes of the age. This study takes the reader to the point where the history of modern architecture begins. ISBN: 9780891587200. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
