Synopsis
"There may not be any book on architecture so delightful to dip into; one wishes there were a pocket edition to take on an Italian vacation-not only for its information and vision but for such pleasant reminders as that the citizens of Treviso carried Tullio Lombardo's friezes through the town in triumph before they were attached to a building."-D. J. R. Bruckner, New York Times Book Review

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.
