Explore how ironwork shaped architecture across Europe from the late medieval era to the eighteenth century. This volume surveys regional styles and the changing craft, offering clear context for how technique, taste, and patronage influenced iron in buildings and sacred spaces.

The book examines Italian Rococo and Spanish plateresque iron, tracing how Baroque and Rococo impulses transformed metalwork and how artists—often noted as sculptors and architects—pushed the material to dramatic new forms. It also highlights grand cathedral screens, gates, and railings, and the way local traditions preserved or reinterpreted iron as a decorative and structural art.

- Understand how regional climates, wealth, and patronage shaped ironwork in Italy, Spain, and beyond.
- See why screens, gratings, and balusters evolved from simple bars to complex, sculptural forms.
- Learn about master smiths who were also artists, and how their work bridged craft and design.
- Get a sense of how ironwork reflected broader art and architectural trends, from Gothic to Baroque.

Ideal for readers of architectural history, decorative arts, and the evolution of metalwork in European buildings.
