Alessandro Vittoria and the Portrait Bust in Renaissance Venice: Remodelling Antiquity (Clarendon Studies in the History of Art)

Description

By the end of the seventeenth century, the City of London was already by far the most important centre of trade and finance in the world. This financial and commercial supremacy was reflected in some of the most impressive architecture and public sculpture of the last 300 years. With over 420 photographs and over 550 pages, Philip Ward-Jackson＊s book is a unique survey of one of the most architecturally exciting and diverse cities in the world.
