Architecture: Gothic and Renaissance - Tapa blanda

Architecture (Paperback)

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Architecture - Gothic and RenaissanceBy T. Roger SmithGothic and Renaissance ArchitectureFully IllustratedThe Classic Publication on Gothic ArchitectureTHE architecture generally known as Gothic, but often described as Christian Pointed, prevailed throughout Europe to the exclusion of every rival for upwards of three centuries; and it is to be met with, more or less, during two others. Speaking broadly, it may be said that its origin took place in the twelfth century, that the thirteenth was the period of its development, the fourteenth that of its perfection, and the fifteenth that of its decline; while many examples of its employment occur in the sixteenth.In the following chapters the principal changes in the features of buildings which occurred during the progress of the style in England will be described. Subsequently, the manner in which the different stages of development were reached in different countries will be given; for architecture passed through very nearly the same phases in all European nations, though not quite simultaneously.
