Softcover. Condition: Sehr gut. 2. Auflage. 283 Pg. Ill. 27,9 x 20,9 x 1,7 cm. Gebraucht, aber gut erhalten. - "This is the first English translation of an extraordinary work of scholarship first published in Burckhardt's native German in 1867. Peter Murray, a British authority on Renaissance building, has done an admirable job of editing and revising it."- Paul Gapp, Chicago Tribune -- "Peter Murray's intelligent introduction and editor's notes complement the text admirably, and he has also provided a useful bibliography of periodicals and books cited, a list of the 351 accompanying illustrations (which include the original woodcuts as well as numerous new photographs) and two indices of personal and place names . [Burckhardt's] acquaintance with primary archival and documentary material as well as secondary nineteenth-century literature is not only impressive but also extremely useful for the modern specialist: there is much to be learned from both his sources and his methodology, which combines detailed stylistic analysis of individual works with a comprehensive and typological theory of Italian art . A 'classic' in art-historical literature."- Meredith Shedd, Art Documentation -- "Burckhardt read almost every original source available, and his random citations and comments make up a magnificent catalogue that might even now inspire new studies in social history and Renaissance art . There may not be any book on architecture so delightful to dip into."- D. J. R. Bruckner, New York Times Book Review. -- Contents: -- Book One: Architecture -- The Monumental Temper of Italian Architecture -- Patrons, Dilettanti and Master Builders -- Proto-Renaissance and Gothic -- The Study of Antique Buildings and Vitruvius -- The Theorists -- Treatment of Form in the Early Renaissance -- Treatment of Form in the Sixteenth Century -- The Architectural Model -- The Design of Churches -- Monasteries and Buildings of Religious Orders -- The Architectural Characters oft he Palazzo -- Hospitals, Fortresses and Bridges -- Improvements and Town-Planning -- Villas -- Gardens -- Book Two: Decoration -- The Nature of Renaissance Decoration -- Decorative Sculpture in Stone -- Decoration in Bronze -- Works in Wood -- Pavements, Calligraphy -- Painting of Facadex -- Interior Painting and Stucco-Work -- Goldsmiths' Work, Ceramics and Related Crafts -- Temporary Decorations.
