STUDIES IN ART, ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN: Vol. I, From Mannerism to Romanticism; Vol. II, Victorian and After

An elder statesman of art criticism here collects and annotates scholarly essays written in the last forty years. Many appear in English for the first time. The first volume stresses 17th-century Italian Mannerist and Baroque painting and 18th and 19th-century continental architecture. The second volume covers English architecture and design, from early working class housing through high Victorian style.
