| Description: |
French architecture of the 18th century exhibited great technical ability, and refined taste and influenced architectural style throughout Europe. This is a survey of that period, beginning with "style moderne", covering Rococo and concluding with Revolutionary architecture. |
| Synopsis: |
The eighteenth century was a time of supreme achievement in French architecture. The buildings of the period are distinguished by restraint and proportion, grace and practicality - qualities that influenced architecture across Europe. This handsome book surveys developments from the final years of Louis XIV and the lasting influence of Jules-Hardouin Mansart to the dramatic fantasies of Boullee. It analyses not only the buildings, but also their interiors, and the contemporary theoretical literature. |
