This was the world of Odysseus, in which trade proliferated with Phoenician merchants; of King Midas, whose tomb was adorned with treasures; and of the Bible, whose stories are illuminated by recent artistic and archeological discoveries. It was also a time of rich cultural exchange across the Mediterranean and Near East as diverse populations interacted through trade, travel, and migration. Assyria to Iberia showcases masterpieces that reflect the cultural encounters of this era. Stunning details convey the beauty and significance of more than 300 objects drawn from collections around the globe. These objects include carved reliefs from the majestic palaces of ancient Assyria, Phoenician fine bronze metalwork and carved ivories, and luxurious jewelry. Texts by over 80 international scholars provide a compelling picture of this fascinating period, one that is essential to understanding the origins of Western culture and art.

Описание: Following the success of Ken Tate's previous two books with images, this new collection of houses illustrates a splendid diversity of stylistic approaches and
range of creative possibilities. The common language is decidedly Classical, yet American architect Ken Tate's personal interpretation and intellectual rigours allow each building to
stand apart as an individual work of art - beautiful, livable and utterly engaging. Tate's designs spring from intensive study of his clients and the locales in which they have chosen to
build.
The character and the preferences of his patrons have led him to create residences in a wide range of styles. "A Classical Vision" explores the most recent private
houses designed by Ken Tate and his colleagues, whose architectural philosophy draws on the vast lineage of architectural styles and conventions throughout history to produce
gorgeous contemporary homes.
