Book excerpt: A major new history of architecture in Britain and Ireland that looks at buildings and their construction in detail while revealing the cultural, material, political, and economic contexts that made them Architecture in Britain and Ireland, 1530-1830 presents a comprehensive history of architecture in Britain during this three-hundred-year period. Drawing on the most important advances in architectural history in the last seventy years, ranging across cultural, material, political, and economic contexts, this book also encompasses architecture in Ireland and includes substantial commentary on the buildings of Scotland and Wales. Across three chronological sections: 1530-1660, 1660-1760, and 1760-1830, this volume explores how architectural culture evolved from a subject carried solely in the minds and skills of craftsmen to being embodied in books and documents and with new professions--architects, surveyors and engineers--in charge. With chapters dedicated to towns and cities, landscape, infrastructure, military architecture, and industrial architecture, and beautifully illustrated with new photography, detailed graphics, and a wealth of historic images, Architecture in Britain and Ireland, 1530-1830 is an invaluable resource for students, historians, and anyone with an interest in the architecture of this period, and promises to become a definitive work of scholarship in the field.

Download or read book English Gothic Misericord Carvings written by Betsy Chunko-Dominguez and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2017-03-06 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: English Gothic Misericord Carvings: History from the Bottom Up by Betsy Chunko-Dominguez is the first book to move beyond textual dependence and traditional iconographic analysis when examining misericords. It likewise builds the most thorough discussion to date of the relationship between the misericord’s several potential audiences – including patron, craftsman, occupant of the seat, and modern viewer. Beyond the bounds of misericord studies, there are implications here for study of the relationship between center and margin in late medieval art; and, indeed, what constitutes ‘center’ and ‘margin’ as conceptual realms. Ultimately, this book attempts both to re-integrate the study of misericords into the study of Gothic art in general, and to re-center them in relation to our understanding of late medieval culture.

Keyser and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A List of Buildings in Great Britain and Ireland Having Mural and Other Painted Decorations, of Dates Prior to the Latter Part of the Sixteenth Century: With Historical Introduction and Alphabetical Index of Subjects The present list, though still doubtless imperfect, will, it is hoped, ' furnish the most complete record of the art of mural painting, and the decoration of our churches and other buildings in the Middle Ages, which has yet been published. Almost all the recorded examples are included in this new edition, nearly every work on British topo graphy brought out during the present century having been carefully consulted. With a few exceptions, the references to the sources whence the information has been obtained are given, and it may be here stated, that where the account in the list differs from that in the authority cited, the former may be taken as correct, the variation of the account being obtained in consequence of personal inspection or thoroughly reliable information. AS far as possible, all the more important examples have been visited by the Compiler of the present edition, and all doubts as to identification of saints, subjects, &c. In the majority of instances cleared up by personal examina tion, or an application to those most likely to be well informed an the subject. To the present edition has been appended an alphabetical index of the saints, subjects, 850. Portrayed, as well as of screens, roofs, monuments, 850. Still or till recently retaining traces of their original colouring; and this will, it is hoped, prove an assistance to the student in any particular branch of this subject, and will serve to illustrate thevarying popularity of the several subjects and saints during the period comprehended by the list.

Download or read book Medieval Irish Architecture and the Concept of Romanesque written by Tadhg O’Keeffe and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-02-28 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a fresh perspective on eleventh- and twelfth-century Irish architecture, and a critical assessment of the value of describing it, and indeed contemporary European architecture in general, as “Romanesque”. Medieval Irish Architecture and the Concept of Romanesque is a new and original study of medieval architectural culture in Ireland. The book’s central premise is that the concept of a “Romanesque” style in eleventh- and twelfth-century architecture across Western Europe, including Ireland, is problematic, and that the analysis of building traditions of that period is not well served by the assumption that there was a common style. Detailed discussion of important buildings in Ireland, a place marginalised within the “Romanesque” model, reveals the Irish evidence to be intrinsically interesting to students of medieval European architecture, for it is evidence which illuminates how architectural traditions of the Middle Ages were shaped by balancing native and imported needs and aesthetics, often without reference to Romanitas. This book is for specialists and students in the fields of Romanesque, medieval archaeology, medieval architectural history, and medieval Irish studies.

Book excerpt: In this beautifully illustrated volume, fifteen distinguished writers on architecture mark the retirement of Professor David Watkin from the University of Cambridge. Linked by the common theme of classicism, the chapters are divided into three sections. The first is concerned with architectural ideas and includes essays on Renaissance interpretations of Vitruvius, Roman Catholic Chapels in post-Reformation London, and architectural writers John Summerson and Hope Bagenal. The central section deals with aspects of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Neo-classicism and includes new work on Marie-Joseph Peyre, Charles Barry and C.R. Cockerell. The final section is devoted to studies of classicism and the Picturesque in the twentieth century.
