Hardcover. Condition: Used - Very Good. With an insightful text by Bertrand Lemoine and more than 170 photographs and drawings, most in full color, this book captures France's rich and diverse architecture from a century known for its opulence, eclecticism, and innovation. The Napoleonic era gave rise to Neoclassical monuments that recalled Imperial Rome. The grand projects of the Second Empire created much of the Paris we know today: for example, Charles Garnier's Iavish Opera House, the expanded Louvre, and the stately boulevards of Baron Haussmann's city plan. New towns, suburbs, and resorts were developed to accommodate a growing middle-class population, encouraging a demand for houses in a range of fanciful styles based on vernacular sources - Mediterranean villas, Norman castles, and Alpine chalets - and displaying picturesque elements such as turrets, bow windows, and decorative brick and terra-cotta decoration. And the latter half of the century produced many milestones of early modern architecture such as the masterful Neo-Grec libraries of Henri Labrouste, the dramatic iron structures of Gustave Eiffel, and the flamboyant Art Nouveau designs of Hector Guimard. The glories of 19th-century French architecture are captured in more than 170 photos and drawings, most of them in color, in this extraordinary volume written by the director of research at France's National Council for Social Research.

Hardcover. Condition: Used - Very Good. Founded in 1898 by Czar Nicholas II, the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg celebrates its centennial with this first book on its collections. Illustrated throughout in color, it surveys the great sweep of Russian art from the late Middle Ages to the present, spanning the superb icons of the 12th century through the most interesting provocations of the 20th-century avant-garde. The Russian Museum was established to offer the public a complete picture of the country's arts. First housed in a monument of Russian Neoclassic architecture, the Mikhailovsky Palace, the museum now fills three palaces and is today the world's largest repository of Russian art, with more than 400,000 works. Here, the scope of the collections is seen to be extraordinary, including painting, sculpture, graphic work, decorative arts, jewelry, folk art, and coins. There are more than 5,000 icons, including the early 15th-century icons of Saint Peter and Saint Paul by the great Andrei Rublev, and such 20th-century treasures as Kazimir Malevich's signature Black Square.
