Architecture in the Age of Reason : Baroque and Post-Baroque in England, Italy and France

Cover shows minor signs of use, including a few marks and bumps. Contents clean and unmarked, with uncreased pages. In good shape overall. Publisher's note: Only recently, and largely through Emil Kaufmann's research, has the revolutionary character of architectural style-change in the 18th and 19th centuries become clear. Dr. Kaufmann's thorough examination and documentation revealed that the break with Renaissance and Baroque values was deliberate. Architects of the period consciously tried to create new styles expressing individualism and independence. --Back cover. Size: 24.1 x 17.1 x 1.9 cm. xxvi, 293 pp. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo.
