Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a wide-ranging and richly illustrated exploration of the traditions and craftsmanship of decorative painting in English architecture from the Middle Ages to the present day. The author places English decorative painting in its broader European context while closely examining many notable examples. The text explores the technical methods and materials used in wall, ceiling, and woodwork painting while discussing themes and styles like heraldry, Gothic ornament, Renaissance illusionism, and neoclassical designs. Many of the featured examples have been restored in recent years, and one chapter looks at this process in depth. The final chapter turns to the present day to examine trends in contemporary decorative painting. This book is an invaluable reference on its subject, beautifully illustrated with photographs, drawings, and archival images.
