European Architecture 1750-1890 Paperback / softback
by Barry (Professor of Art History, Professor of Art History, Columbia University, New York) Bergdoll
Part of the Oxford History of Art series
Paperback / softback
Description
This comprehensive examination of eighteenth and nineteenth-century architecture explores its extreme diversity within the context of tremendous social, economic and political upheaval.
Bergdolls offers a penetrating analysis of the very ways issues of style functioned to make architecture one of the most vitally experimental of art forms in a period of sweeping political, social, and economic change.
Never before had the functional requirements and expressive capacities of architecture been tested so thoroughly and with such diversity of invention.
Bergdoll traces this experimentation in a broad range of contexts, focusing in particular on the relation of architectural design to new theories of history, new categories of scientific inquiry, and the broadening audience for architecture in this period of transformation.
Unlike traditional surveys with long lists of buildings and architects, the themes are elucidated by in-depth coverage of key buildings which in turn are situated in both their local and European context.
