This is the first stand-alone overview guide ever published. We produce it as a companion volume to our revised edition of Anthony Blunt’s seminal A Guide to Baroque Rome: The Churches. In this volume, Anthony Langdon draws on an encyclopaedic knowledge of the hugely productive scholarship in the field, which he distills with elegance, acumen and wit. Over the last 30 years all aspects of the design, construction, decoration and functions of these great houses have been examined and our understanding of the period has been transformed. Scholars and visitors will find this volume stimulating, concise and eminently readable. The rich illustrations include over 140 contemporary prints, as well as plans, elevations, and specially taken photographs. Full references and indexes complete this indispensable aid to further research.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 210mmItem Length: 147mmItem Weight: 372gAuthor: Anthony LangdonGenre: Architecture & AntiquesRelease Year: 2025 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
