Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There were numerous divine “dwellings” at Paestum just as there were in other Greek cities around the Mediterranean. The Temple of Neptune is simply the most well-preserved example. Next to it stands the “Basilica”, the oldest of the three great Doric buildings at Paestum (c. 560-520 BC). Further north, beyond the Roman forum which stands on the area previously occupied by the ancient agora (a marketplace and a square, where assemblies and other meetings were held in the Greek period), a small hill is crowned by the temple of Athena – the only one for which the identity of the deity worshipped there is definitely known. [Gabriel Zuchtriegel]. A masterful, rigorous and accessible guide, updated to the latest archaeological discoveries, of the best preserved and enhanced archaeological site of Magna Graecia

Book excerpt: A renowned scholar examines the beauty and impact of drawings and prints by Piranesi, as well as the Italian architect's relationship with his friend and colleague Sir John Soane. An 18th-century architect and printmaker, Giovanni Battista Piranesi was a lifelong champion of Rome, publishing more than 1,000 etchings of the Eternal City and its ancient monuments. Piranesi's English contemporary Sir John Soane was also an architect specializing in the neoclassical style. When the two artists met, they formed a profound and complex creative and intellectual relationship that nurtured Soane's later career. Among Soane's greatest legacies is the London museum that bears his name, and some of its most important holdings are a number of preparatory drawings Piranesi developed for a publication on the Greek temples at Paestum. These drawings are accomplished examples of Piranesi's topographical observation and great works of art in their own right. This book offers exquisite reproductions of the drawings as well as 30 additional works from Piranesi's oeuvre. Together they offer a unique understanding of early Greek classical architecture seen through the work of an 18th-century master. AUTHOR: John Wilton-Ely is Professor Emeritus in the History of Art, University of Hull, a fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, and a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. He is a well-known authority on European visual arts of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, lecturing and writing frequently on the subject. ILLUSTRATIONS: 80 colour

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 18th-century rediscovery of the three archaic Greek-Doric temples in Paestum in southern Italy turned existing ideas on classical architecture upside down. The porous limestone temples with rough, heavy columns were entirely unlike the classical architecture travelers to the site were familiar with. Paestum, exceptional in the completeness of its ruins, came to fascinate architects, artists, writers, and tourists alike, who documented the site in drawings and texts. In Rediscovering Architecture, Sigrid de Jong analyzes extensive original source material, including letters, diaries, drawings, paintings, engravings, and published texts, which are attractively reproduced here. The book offers new insights on the explorations of the site, the diverse reactions to it, and their dramatic and enduring effect on architectural thought, as they influenced intellectual debates in England, France, and Italy during the long 18th century. This unique study of the experience of architecture reconstructs Paestum's key role in the discourse on classical architecture and its historiography, primitivism, the sublime and the picturesque, and the growing importance of science and history in architectural thought.
