Excerpt from Specimens of Gothic Architecture, Vol. 2: Selected From Various Ancient Edifices in England, Consisting of Plans, Elevations, Sections, and Parts at Large; Calculated to Exemplify the Various Styles, and the Practical Construction, of This Admired Class of Architecture
It has been noticed that a new taste in literature led the way to this revolution in Architecture, in the same way, as we may remark, that an enthusiastic zeal for the diffusion of classical learning had produced a blind admiration of Roman Architecture, until every thing in art, as well as literature, was censured as Gothic or barbarous, which did not accord with classical models. A few of the earliest essays and dissertations on Gothic Architecture have been mentioned, to which a list might be added of greater number than could be fairly noticed in these remarks.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a journey through the evolution of Gothic architecture in England. The author meticulously examines the various styles that emerged over centuries, from the Anglo-Saxon period to the reign of Henry VIII. The book delves into the stylistic nuances that define each era, exploring the use of arches, tracery, and ornamentation. Through detailed descriptions and insightful analysis, the book reveals how each architectural style reflects the social, political, and artistic sensibilities of its time. The author goes beyond a mere chronological catalog, offering a deeper understanding of the rise and fall of Gothic architecture within a broader historical context. By comparing English styles to their continental counterparts, particularly those found in Germany and France, the book dispels common misconceptions about the origins and evolution of this architectural tradition. The author expertly reveals how Gothic architecture, once dismissed as "barbaric," was not merely an English phenomenon, but rather a multifaceted and evolving style that flourished across Europe. The book further explores the revival of Gothic architecture in England during the 18th and 19th centuries, analyzing the challenges and triumphs of its reintegration into a changing architectural landscape. It examines the complexities of replicating the intricate details and grandeur of ancient buildings in a society with vastly different building practices and aesthetics. This exploration reveals a fascinating tension between historical preservation and artistic innovation, ultimately highlighting the enduring power and beauty of Gothic architecture. This book offers a captivating exploration of Gothic architecture in England, providing both a comprehensive historical survey and a thoughtful commentary on its enduring influence. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781334233593_0
