Rejería of the Spanish Renaissance: A Collection of Photographs and Measured Drawings, with Descriptive Text (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Rejería of the Spanish Renaissance: A Collection of Photographs and Measured Drawings, With Descriptive Text
Thus, being a focusing of circumstances purely national, the Renaissance Reja is a more interesting and valuable study than Spanish Gothic productions in iron; these, while all too little known, present but few variations from Gothic work elsewhere in Europe; the Reja, on the contrary, is unmatched, unapproached even, by any other country.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book shines a light on the resplendent wrought-iron grilles of Renaissance Spain, known as rejas, that flourished as an art form during a period of national elation. Unlike Gothic work, which was largely uniform across Europe, the reja was uniquely Spanish; rejeros, who were often sculptors and architects, traveled great distances to compete for cathedral commissions, leading to superb examples. The author discusses the evolution of the reja from simple screens to magnificent creations, examining the techniques and materials used, as well as the symbolism and significance of various motifs. The analysis of notable rejas in major cathedrals provides insight into the artistic, historical, and cultural context of the period. This book not only showcases the beauty of these architectural masterpieces but also highlights the artistic ingenuity and technical prowess of Spanish artisans during the Renaissance. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9780260720832_0
