Frommel, Christoph Luitpold

Cl. New York, 2006

Book ID: 70736

Frommel organizes the book traditionally by period and architect. Social context, technical innovation, and aesthetic judgment are all given due weight, with particular emphasis on the way in which each architect balanced individual inspiration with the accepted Vitruvian canon. Illustrated throughout with photographs, drawings, plans, and reconstructions, it brings into relief the flowering of architectural genius between the birth of Brunelleschi and the death of Michelangelo.
