Описание: Renowned throughout Renaissance Europe, Pieter Coecke van Aelst (1502–1550) produced works for the wealthiest and most important patrons of the time, including Emperor Charles V, Francis I of France, Henry VIII of England, the Habsburgs, and Cosimo de Medici. While he is best known for his magnificent tapestries, he was also a consummate artist in other media, and the output from his workshop included painted altarpieces, as well as designs and cartoons for stained glass. This lavish publication, the first comprehensive volume devoted to this Renaissance master since 1966, introduces Pieter Coecke van Aelst to a contemporary audience and places him among the great artists of the 16th century. New photographs, including fine details, reunite twenty of the splendid Renaissance tapestries made to his designs with some of his finest surviving drawings and panel paintings, while texts by thirteen prominent scholars explore Coecke's art and world. Both a feast for the eyes and an important reappraisal of a great Renaissance master, this important study will stand as the comprehensive volume on a major artist of the Northern Renaissance

Описание: Today's premier hotels have evolved into complex organisms that prompt a variety of different ways of addressing the rising expectations of the clientele, and
each new design seeks to establish a unique figurative and semantic image. The interiors presented in this book offer a broad and complex panorama in which projects that reinterpret
the idea of luxury coexist with others that elaborate entirely novel blueprints and types of comfort. Consequently we see fully customised architecture vying with refurbished existing
buildings in close relationship with the uniquely Italian context of fine historical buildings and superb landscapes.

Описание: For well over a century, the Grand Tour of France and Italy - which included a stay in Venice - served as the ultimate in finishing schools for the young male
elite of Great Britain. This book explores Venice's hold on the imagination of the Grand Tourist and connects the ideology of the Tour to the mythology of Venice. According to Bruce
Redford, the Tour offered a combination of aesthetic, social political and sexual experience, and it provided its alumni with a life-long source of cultural and political authority.
Yet from the beginning the Tour was also viewed with deep suspicion: it was feared that the very experiences that completed the British gentleman might well undo him. The aspiration
and ambivalence that characterise the Tour attached themselves most powerfully to the time spent in Venice. Drawing on a wide range of materials - from guide-books to portraits,
satirical poems to garden pavilions - Redford investigates Venice's power of attraction for the English and shows that it was a source of many echoes and metaphors of England's own
cultural, political, and geo-graphical situation.
