Tapa Dura Con Sobrecubierta. Condition: Muy bueno. Primera edición. Colección: Akal Arquitectura. Muy buen estado. En la segunda mitad del siglo XVI, el rey Felipe II decidió emplear los ingresos del estado más rico de la Tierra para crear edificios que constituyeran el valioso legado de los Habsburgo, eligiendo a un joven inexperto, caballero y soldado, como arquitecto principal. La asociación entre el rey y Juan de Herrera duró más de treinta años, y los edificios que produjeron -entre ellos, El Escorial, la Lonja de Sevilla, y la remodelación urbana de Madrid- inculcaron nuevos ideales que nutrirían a la arquitectura española y europea durante los siglos venideros. Este estudio global sobre la obra de Herrera examina las funciones de un gran patrón y arquitecto en la creación de una nueva era en la arquitectura española.

Juan de Herrera: Architect to Philip II of Spain by Catherine Wilkinson-Zerner (1993) is a comprehensive monograph on Juan de Herrera, the chief architect of Spain under Philip II, focusing especially on his role in completing El Escorial and establishing the austere, monumental "Herrerian" architectural style. The book explores Herrera's intellectual formation, his mathematical and geometric interests, his work methods and professional challenges at court, and how his aesthetic of restraint and monumentality aligned with the ideology of the Habsburg monarchy. It argues that the "estilo desornamentado" (unornamented style) became closely linked with the values of Spanish Habsburg rule ? sobriety, control, and spiritual gravity ? and shows how Herrera's design principles influenced architecture across Spain and Spanish territories.
