In this three-part polemical masterpiece, the famed engraver and designer not only praises the structural audacity of Etruscan architecture and contends that the Etruscansâ"not the Greeksâ"were the artistic mentors of the Romans but also argues for a Roman-inspired exuberance in design that draws freely on all forms and traditions of ancient art. Although Piranesi's essentially Baroque vision set him at odds with the austere aesthetics of Neoclassicism, his ideas were inspirational to such gifted eighteenth-century architects as Robert Adam, John Soane, Claude-Nicolas Ledoux, and tienne-Louis Boullee. Today, Piranesi's lively plea for imaginative eclecticism remains topical, as practitioners and theorists continue to debate the relative merits of a rational and minimal architecture versus an architecture rich in ornament and historical references." -- with a bonus offer--; Texts & Documents; Published in 1765, Giovanni Battista Piranesi's Osservazioni is an impassioned defense of the superiority of Roman architectural "invention" over the "beautiful and noble simplicity" of ancient Greece.

Etat : New. 2 Volume set., 387 & 671 pp. ,9 coloured plates ( of uniform.) 10 other illus.2024 N&MP Reprint of 1832-37 editionPublished Price £35 Ludlow Beamishâs two-volume history of the Kingâs German Legion (KGL) offers a rare, eyewitness account of one of the Napoleonic Warsâ most heroic Allied units. Formed from Hanoverian… volunteers in 1803, the KGL excelled under Wellington in the Peninsula and at Waterloo, fighting in key battles from Corunna and Talavera to Salamanca, Vittoria, and La Haye Sainte. Covering infantry, cavalry, and artillery, the Legionâs campaigns in Spain, Portugal, Germany, and at Waterloo are vividly detailed, making this classic workâ"praised by Sir Charles Omanâ"essential for serious students of Napoleonic warfare.One of the most unusual, as well as the most heroic and distinguished Allied units in the Napoleonic Wars was the Kingâs German Legion (KGL). Originally composed of German volunteers from King George IIIâs Hanovarian domain, and founded out of Royal outrage at Franceâs occupation of Hanover in 1803, the KGL, according to David Chandler, doyen of Napoleonic military historians â was without a doubt amongst the very best troops commanded by Wellington in the Peninsula and at Waterlooâ. The KGL was a mini-army in its own right, comprising infantry, cavalry and artillery. This classic two-volume history of the Legion by N. Ludlow is one of the best accounts of the Napoleonic Wars, praised by the great historian Sir Charles Oman as â a valuable and conscientious historyâ. and largely composed of eye-witness accounts by serving soldiers. Volume 1 begins with the bungled loss of Hanover and the raising of the KGL, and its first foreign expedition - to denmark. under Lord Rosslyn. The KGL was next deployed in the Mediterranean theatre, and had its first taste of Spain under Sir John Moore and Sir Arthur Wellesley (Wellington) where the german hussars covered the disastrous retreat to Corunna. The Legion returned to Portugal and Spain with Wellington and lost heavily at the Battle of Talavera. Other KGL units took part in Sir Eyre Cooteâs expedition to Flushing and Walcheren. In the Peninsula War, the Legion fought under General Craufurd, helping to defeat the French at Busaco and befoire the lines of Torres Vedras, and later participating in Wellingtonâs vistory over Marshal Massena at Fuentes dâOnoro. The voilume ends with Soultâs defeat at Albuera and the siege of Badajoz.Volume 2 opens with the sieges of Badajoz and Cieudad Roderigo and the great battle of Salamanca which broke the back of the French in Spain. As Wellington rolled the enemy up to the Pyrenees, the KGL wewre also present at the battle of Vittoria. Meanwhile the KGL were also operating against Marshal Davout in the noirth of their native Germany. The Allied pressure caused Napoelon to abdicate and retire to Elba in 1814. The bookâs final chapter deals with the Waterloo campaign in which the KGL played a heroic part in holding the strategically vital La Haye Sainte Farm in front of the British line, against furious French assaults.
