Наличие на складе: Есть (1 шт.) Описание: Amid the soaring grandeur of arches and spires lurks a more down-to-earth architectural flourish: the grinning head of a gargoyle. Singly and clustered, these intriguing creatures form as distinctive an element of Gothic architecture as the flying buttress. Nowhere are they more prominent than along the walls of French cathedrals, and this magnificently illustrated volume prowls the ramparts of those medieval buildings to discover hundreds of authentic gargoyle carvings. According to tradition, the gargoyles were posted as sentries, to ward off malevolent spirits and to remind parishioners of the evil beyond the church doors. Author Lester Burbank Bridaham takes a more optimistic view. Noting the stone guardians' whimsical nature, he discusses the artisanal ingenuity involved in their creation. He also points out how they represented a rare sense of freedom in the Middle Ages, in terms of public satire and unbridled artistic enthusiasm. As this book reveals, the timeless appeal of the gargoyle -- whether symbolic, spiritual, decorative, or fanciful -- continues to captivate the imagination.

Описание: This profusely illustrated volume by a noted British architect and authority in the field focuses on monumental architecture constructed from 1730 to 1875, a period the author feels embodies the best in neoclassical architecture. Included are outstanding structures built in Great Britain and Ireland during four different phases - Roman Palladian (1730-1780), Greco-Roman (1780-1820), Greek (1820-1840), and neo-Grec and Italian (1840-1875). Beginning with the achievements of the great Georgian architect Sir William Chambers, and extending to the work of such major Victorian classicists as C. R. Cockerell and Harry Lonsdale Elmes, the buildings pictured and described here include a roster of masterpieces: The Customs House, Dublin; The Bank of England, Liverpool; Newgate Prison, London; The British Museum, London; The National Gallery, Edinburgh; The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge; St. George's Hall in Liverpool; the Landsdown Tower, Bath, and many more. Over 175 line drawings and halftones illustrate Sir Albert's detailed, perceptive and informative text. Enhanced with a new Introduction by H. Stafford Bryant, this classic study belongs in the libraries of architects, students of architectural history, and interested general readers.
