This book was released on 2017-12 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to English Church Architecture, From the Eleventh to the Sixteenth Century, Vol. 1 One specially novel feature should be mentioned. The treatment of the main constructional subjects is throughout analytical. But even if this treatment is fairly adequate, no student can arrive at the end of such chapters as those on vaulting. Abutments, window tracery, roofs, etc., without considerable mental strain. If he has read faithfully, and looked up his cross-references as he should have done, there may remain with him a bird's-eye view of the whole subject; but he is very far from grasp or mastery. What he ought to do is to read the chapter straightway a second and even a third time. This, however, cannot be expected of a jaded reader; he wants a change, not a second helping of fish, but an omelette or an entree. Such a change is now provided. The more important subjects, after being treated analytically, are then discussed over again, but in the concrete, rag, after 106 pages setting forth the science and art of vault construction, fifty-seven individual vaults are selected for study, and are dissected separately. If the reader will turn to these, he will find all the principles of construction which he has read about in the text set forth over again, but in such different fashion that he will hardly notice that the new dish is after all but a réchauffé. This application of the concrete method of study, aided by a c0pious apparatus of diagrams, has not been attempted before, and, it is believed, will be found really helpful. Nor will the readers for whom this book has been prepared be likely to complain that here and there it is a good deal more than a treatise on building construction. It is good for those who are to be introduced to medizeval church architecture to know not only how a church was built, but why it was built, who built it, who served in it, who worshipped in it, and what manner of worship was theirs - Ancient or Modern. Accordingly, much space has been devoted in the introductory chapters to matters of human interest, before plunging into stones and mortar.

This book was released on 2013-09 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1850 edition. Excerpt: ... Chapter 33. In this chapter we propose to explain the general form and arrangement of ancient churches and their furniture, which as before mentioned, is of far greater importance than mere detail: for of what use is good writing if the spelling be bad? or of what use is good spelling if the words have no sense in them? So a knowledge of detail in Architecture is of little worth, if the greater principles of combination be not thoroughly understood. The sin of modern Church Architecture in England until these last few years has not been in the badness of detail, for it has oft times been most pure, yet the building where it is found has been most wretched. It has consisted in the misapplication of those details; sometimes by copying them on too small a scale, thereby rendering them absurd, as. the building churches for dolls or cathedrals for babies: sometimes by misplacing them, as in putting windows well suited for a flank elevation in a western front, or a cathedral doorway in a village porch, and vice versa. When we consider what Architecture really is; that it implies not only the art of building well, but building beautifully and appropriately, we shall soon see that something beyond a mere correctness of detail is necessary to produce a perfect building. When we look abroad on the world and trace the hand of God in the vegetable, animal or mineral kingdom, it is not the beauty of form alone which the most enchants us;--it is not alone the peculiar suitability of each portion to do its particular work that engages our admiration; but it is the combination of utility with beauty which impresses us with wonder and awe, and which tells us in language not to be mistaken, " The hand that made us is divine." In creation beauty appears...

This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to English Church Architecture, From the Eleventh to the Sixteenth Century, Vol. 1 A few words are necessary as to the intent and scope of this book. As the title indicates, it is an introduction to the study of English church architecture, excluding work done before the Norman Conquest and after the Reformation, It may be thought that a book in two quarto volumes is somewhat voluminous for an "Introduction." The answer is that a general treatment, especially if aided, as in these volumes, with all manner of plans, drawings, sections, and diagrams, as well as photographs, will be found at once easier to follow and more enjoyable than the unpalatable pemmican of a condensed text-book. It may be added that though the book contains over 1,000 pages, yet if the glossaries and indexes and the numerous excursuses in small type be omitted, the text proper does not amount to more than 400 pages, fully half of the book being occupied with illustrations. The book is intended not so much for the professional student as for the great body of readers who nowadays are interested in mediæval architecture and wish to obtain some general knowledge of it. For them it seemed desirable to attempt an account which without ceasing to be thorough and detailed, should be elementary in character. With that intent, technical terms have been eliminated where possible, and where the use of them was unavoidable, the meaning of each has been defined in the text, and again in an alphabetical glossary prefixed to the first volume. Archæological history also has been as far as possible eschewed; what has been attempted is to give a plain, straightforward account of mediaeval building construction as controlled by mediæval ritual. Being intended chiefly for those with little or no previous knowledge of the subject, the book demanded exceptional copiousness of illustration. Fortunately, the last decade has been marked by a large advance in the practice of architectural photography. There are more architectural photographers than ever before, and their work is marked by greater technical excellence. Formerly general views of exteriors and interiors could be had in abundance, but very little architectural detail; it is now easy to obtain photographs of vaults and roofs, in plan as well as in perspective, window tracery, foliated and molded capitals, bases, ground-courses, and the like.

Download or read book The Long Lives of Medieval Art and Architecture written by Jennifer M. Feltman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-03-08 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditional histories of medieval art and architecture often privilege the moment of a work’s creation, yet surviving works designated as "medieval" have long and expansive lives. Many have extended prehistories emerging from their sites and contexts of creation, and most have undergone a variety of interventions, including adaptations and restorations, since coming into being. The lives of these works have been further extended through historiography, museum exhibitions, and digital media. Inspired by the literary category of biography and the methods of longue durée historians, the introduction and seventeen chapters of this volume provide an extended meditation on the longevity of medieval works of art and the aspect of time as a factor in shaping our interpretations of them. While the metaphor of "lives" invokes associations with the origin of the discipline of art history, focus is shifted away from temporal constraints of a single human lifespan or generation to consider the continued lives of medieval works even into our present moment. Chapters on works from the modern countries of Italy, France, England, Spain, and Germany are drawn together here by the thematic threads of essence and continuity, transformation, memory and oblivion, and restoration. Together, they tell an object-oriented history of art and architecture that is necessarily entangled with numerous individuals and institutions.

Download or read book The Battle of the Styles written by Bernard Porter and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-03-17 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title explores the controversy surrounding the design of the new Foreign Office in London during Britain's Imperial heyday. In 1855 it was decided to build a new block of government offices in London, starting with the Foreign and War Offices. The government offices competition came at what was probably - looking back on it - the zenith of Britain's confidence as a nation and international power. One would expect the mid-Victorians to have felt, firstly, pride in their current national situation; and secondly, the urge to commemorate this in the most important national building to be projected in twenty years. Porter uses the debates surrounding the building of these important new monuments to interrogate the very fabric of British society, culture and nation building. The discussion on so many issues - religion, nationality, empire, history, modernism, truth, morality, gender - quite apart from considerations of 'pure' aesthetics, offers an unusual, perhaps even unique, insight into the relationship between these matters and the 'culture' of the time.
