Download or read book Renaissance Decorative Painting in Scotland written by Michael Bath and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This stunning book reveals in depth the variety and development of decorative paintings in Scottish buildings of the 16th and 17th centuries, as important as any in Europe. Most have never before been seen in one place or described. The result of 10 years of research, Renaissance Decorative Painting in Scotland contains 100 examples from ceilings, moldings, plaster, stonework, walls, window embrasures, overmantels and vaulting--from the palaces of royalty to the castles of noblemen to modest burgess houses. The imagery ranges from religious and classical, to emblematic and grotesque pictures that are full of meaning, to the antique, to tromp I'oeil. The author has managed to catalogue all known examples and has also included valuable information on different types of painting, on materials and processes.

Download or read book The Scottish People 1490 1625 written by MAUREEN M MEIKLE and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2013 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Scottish People, 1490-1625 is one of the most comprehensive texts ever written on Scottish History. All geographical areas of Scotland are covered from the Borders, through the Lowlands to the Gàidhealtachd and the Northern Isles. The chapters look at society and the economy, Women and the family, International relations: war, peace and diplomacy, Law and order: the local administration of justice in the localities, Court and country: the politics of government, The Reformation: preludes, persistence and impact, Culture in Renaissance Scotland: education, entertainment, the arts and sciences, and Renaissance architecture: the rebuilding of Scotland. In many past general histories there was a relentless focus upon the elite, religion and politics. These are key features of any medieval and early modern history books, but The Scottish People looks at less explored areas of early-modern Scottish History such as women, how the law operated, the lives of everyday folk, architecture, popular belief and culture.

Download or read book Scotland s Rural Home written by John Brennan and published by Lund Humphries Publishers Limited. This book was released on 2021-06-07 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rural Scotland is a charged landscape, alive with history, soaked in myth and often rather sublime. For those of us living an urban existence, the countryside is a retreat for refuge and decompression, but it is also a place where infrastructures strain to reach and in which livings must be made. The countryside is resistant to easy explanation and is thus vulnerable to stereotyping. The nine building stories told in this book show how rural households and communities define themselves, and the role architecture plays in this. Illustrated with beautiful photography and drawings, the projects, from affordable housing on the islands to exquisite renovations of traditional agricultural stock, and all recognised by the Saltire Society's Housing Design Awards, are visually rich both in themselves and the contexts in which they sit.
