Book Synopsis Design and Plan in the Country House by : Andor Harvey Gomme
Download or read book Design and Plan in the Country House written by Andor Harvey Gomme and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The way a man thinks about his day-to-day living and the needs of his household reveals a great deal about his ambitions, his idea of himself, and his role in the community. And his house or castle offers many clues to his habits as well as those of the members of his household. This intriguing book explores the evolution of country house plans throughout Britain and Ireland, from medieval times to the eighteenth century. With photographs and detailed architectural plans of each house under discussion, the book presents a whole range of new insights into how these homes were designed and what their varied designs tell us about the lives of their residents. Starting with fortified medieval tower houses, the book traces patterns that developed and sometimes repeated in country house design over the centuries. It discusses who slept in the bedchambers, where food was prepared, how rooms were arranged for official and private activities, what towers signified, and more. Groundbreaking in its depth, the volume offers a rare tour of country houses for scholar and general reader alike.

Book Synopsis The Renaissance Garden in Britain by : John Anthony
Download or read book The Renaissance Garden in Britain written by John Anthony and published by Shire Publications. This book was released on 1991 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The great formal gardens of Britain are now rare survivals from a long-past age. The gardens of essentially geometrical design which had been laid out since the time of the Tudors were largely obliterated by the landscape gardens of the eighteenth century but here and there it is still possible to see traces of the style of garden design once common throughout the land. This book traces the fascinating story of these gardens, mostly long vanished, describing changing fashions in design in relation to changing social conditions. During the two centuries from the Tudors to the Hanoverian monarchs there was a steady increase in the introduction of new plants to British gardens and the influence which this greatly expanded range of plants had on those gardens is a theme throughout the book. Scotland is not forgotten, for Scottish gardens developed along distinctive lines, and Scottish gardeners were celebrated for their skill through Britain. There are notes on gardens where traces of their Renaissance predecessors can still be seen. -- Book cover.

Book Synopsis British and Irish Paintings in Public Collections by : Christopher Wright
Download or read book British and Irish Paintings in Public Collections written by Christopher Wright and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 950 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sets a new standard as a work of reference. It covers British and Irish art in public collections from the beginning of the sixteenth century to the end of the nineteenth, and it encompasses nearly 9,000 painters and 90,000 paintings in more than 1,700 separate collections. The book includes as well pictures that are now lost, some as a consequence of the Second World War and others because of de-accessioning, mostly from 1950 to about 1975 when Victorian art was out of fashion. By listing many tens of thousands of previously unpublished works, including around 13,000 which do not yet have any form of attribution, this book becomes a unique and indispensable work of reference, one that will transform the study of British and Irish painting.
Download or read book Place-making written by John Phibbs and published by English Heritage. This book was released on 2017-05-22 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown (1716-1783) is the iconic figure at the head of the English landscape style, a tradition that has dominated landscape design in the western world. He was widely acclaimed for his genius in his own day and his influence on the culture of England has arguably been as great as that of Turner, Telford and Wordsworth. Yet, although Brown has had his biographers, his work has generated very little analysis. Brown was prolific; he has had a direct influence on half a million acres of England and Wales. The astonishing scale of his work means that he did not just transform the English countryside, but also our idea of what it is to be English and what England is. His work is everywhere, but goes largely unnoticed. His was such a naturalistic style that all his best work was mistaken for untouched nature. This has made it very difficult to see and understand. Visitors to Brown landscapes do not question the existence of the parkland he created and there has been little professional or academic analysis of his work. This book for the first time looks at the motivation behind Brown’s landscapes and questions their value and structure whilst at the same time placing him within the English landscape tradition. It aims primarily to make landscape legible, to show people where to stand, what to look at and how to see.
