Description

Explore the changing views of architectural history in this scholarly work by Routledge. This book examines how the interpretation of the Renaissance shifted significantly between 1850 and 1914. It tracks the evolution of thought within influential publications like The Builder, which once viewed Renaissance styles as a corruption of classical Greek and Roman standards, but later celebrated figures like Filippo Brunelleschi as pioneers of modern architecture. This study provides a deep look into the writing of architectural history and its connection to the rise of the profession. By analyzing these conflicting historical characterizations, readers gain a better understanding of how architectural values were constructed and debated during the Victorian era. It is an essential resource for students and historians interested in art historiography and the development of architectural theory.
