Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a cross between the Renaissance styles of Italy and the Gothic style prevalent in England in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, which the author terms the Elizabethan style. It is clarified from the onset that Elizabethan style is not a haphazard amalgamation of these two styles, as some examples from the period might suggest, but rather a clearly defined set of architectural elements drawn from Roman sources, strictly adhering to their original curvatures. This book aims to capture and define the true essence of the style, free from the distortions and misinterpretations that have laden its history, by examining prominent examples of the style, such as Longleat House and Hardwick Hall, and comparing them with Italian models such as the Cancelleria Palace in Rome. Through this analysis, the author reveals the Elizabethan style as neither Renaissance nor Gothic, but a unique architectural style in its own right that represents a pivotal moment in the transition from medieval to modern architecture. 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. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780331679205_0
