Sinopsis

Splendid palaces, soaring towers, elaborate garden pavilions, verdant parks filled with elegant statuary - all reflect the taste of the wealthy, aristocratic, and artistic elite of Germany and Austria that comprised the driving force behind the architectural expressions illustrated in this book, embodying not only the flamboyance of Baroque and the grace of Rococo, but the clear articulation of Art Nouveau as well. Follies and Fantasies: Germany and Austria is an inspired and cooperative creation. Nic Barlow, a photographer, worked closely with Sally Sample Aall to identify the most intriguing follies and fantasies throughout Germany and Austria. Sally Aall's commentaries describe the origin of each structure and setting, while introducing the owners, architects, and craftsmen associated with them.
