An Essay on the Origin and Progress of Gothic Architecture (Classic Reprint)
Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 4 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a detailed architectural study of the medieval Gothic style with specific focus on Irish ecclesiastical architecture, commencing with a historical examination of the style's origins and evolution. It challenges the widely accepted origin myths that Gothic architecture was derived from either Arabic or Scandinavian sources, arguing convincingly for the more likely progenitor being the corrupted Roman architecture of the time. The author then traces the gradual but inexorable progression from the original Saxon style, richly decorated with circular arches and other features, to the Gothic style, which blended Saxon elements with splendid pointed arches and soaring vaulted ceilings, with many examples drawn from Irish cathedrals. This book not only sheds new light on the origins and development of Gothic architecture but also provides a fascinating insight into the construction and embellishment of some of Ireland's most architecturally significant religious buildings. 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. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330453063_0
