Product Description
Sir John Summerson’s short book on classical architecture is a "classic" work in itself. This completely revised edition features twice as many illustrations as the first. Very few books have received such positive reactions from scholars regarding their subject matter and have given so much pleasure to laypeople. To appreciate the richness, power, and creativity of the classical style, along with its unusual aspects, requires extensive knowledge. The author, one of the leading British architectural historians, effortlessly takes us from the original works of the Greek and Roman eras to the summarizing designs and innovations of the Renaissance, the dynamic linguistic plays of the Baroque, and the solemn expressions of Neoclassicism; and from there to the exuberant eclecticism of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, and finally to the abstract Neoclassicism of some modern examples – each era asserting its claim by utilizing the characteristics of classical language.
