Download or read book Westminster Part II The Art Architecture and Archaeology of the Royal Palace written by Warwick Rodwell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-04-27 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Westminster came into existence in the later Anglo-Saxon period, and by the mid-11th century, when Edward the Confessor’s great new abbey was built, it was a major royal centre two miles south-west of the City of London. Within a century or so, it had become the principal seat of government in England, and this series of twenty-eight papers covers new research on the topography, buildings, art-history, architecture and archaeology of Westminster’s two great establishments — Abbey and Palace. Part I begins with studies of the topography of the area, an account of its Roman-period finds and an historiographical overview of the archaeology of the Abbey. Edward the Confessor’s enigmatic church plan is discussed and the evidence for later Romanesque structures is assembled for the first time. Five papers examine aspects of Henry III’s vast new Abbey church and its decoration. A further four cover aspects of the later medieval period, coronation, and Sir George Gilbert Scott’s impact as the Abbey’s greatest Surveyor of the Fabric. A pair of papers examines the development of the northern precinct of the Abbey, around St Margaret’s Church, and the remarkable buildings of Westminster School, created within the remains of the monastery in the 17th and 18th centuries. Part II part deals with the Palace of Westminster and its wider topography between the late 11th century and the devastating fire of 1834 that largely destroyed the medieval palace. William Rufus’s enormous hall and its famous roofs are completely reassessed, and comparisons discussed between this structure and the great hall at Caen. Other essays reconsider Henry III’s palace, St Stephen’s chapel, the king’s great chamber (the ‘Painted Chamber’) and the enigmatic Jewel Tower. The final papers examine the meeting places of Parliament and the living accommodation of the MPs who attended it, the topography of the Palace between the Reformation and the fire of 1834, and the building of the New Palace which is better known today as the Houses of Parliament.

Download or read book Fredensborg Royal Palace written by Henriette Linnemann and published by Lindhardt og Ringhof. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 659 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fredensborg Slot blev bygget som jagtslot for Frederik 4. i 1722 af hofarkitekt I.C. Krieger og har siden dannet ramme om både dagligliv og store begivenheder i Kongehuset. Her holdes bryllups-, sølvbryllups- og fødselsdagsfester, her modtages gæster fra alverdens lande, og dronning Margrethe og hendes familie tilbringer forår og efterår på slottet. Dronning Margrethe har udført et omfattende arbejde med at føre slottet tilbage til den oprindelige indretning, mens prins Henrik indrettede sine private gemakker i en mere global og franskinspireret stil. Vi kommer også ind i de private arbejdsværelser og stuer, som aldrig har været vist før, og dronning Margrethe har en vigtig stemme i bogen, når hun fortæller om, hvordan statsoverhoveder ridser deres navnetræk ind i slottets glasruder med en diamant, og hvordan hun og prins Henrik spiste frokost i Lille Barokspisestue og tilbragte aftenerne i Frederik 4.s Rum. [5 hjerter] "Det er et prægtigt værk, som J. Henriette Linnemann har skabt om Fredensborg Slot." Lars Hedebo Olsen, Politiken [5 stjerner] "Linnemann gennemfører et detaljernes skoleridt, men får det føjet sammen til et festfyrværkeri over en dansk kunst- og kulturhistorie, hvor der også bliver tid til et "besøg" i privaten." Flemming Østergaard, Jyllands-Posten "Fotografierne er enestående, præcise og velgennemtænkte; de understøtter bogens originale fortælling. Værket handler om stilsættelse, styling; hvordan ting skal tage sig ud, og hvordan man opnår det ønskede helhedsindtryk." Anne Knudsen, Weekendavisen
