James. Pope-Hennessey

4.9/5 (19882 ratings)

Description:The familiar image of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament is so ingrained on the national subconscious that it is taken for granted - indeed, greatly undervalued - as a work of art.The triumphant result of an awkward and sometimes bitter partnership between two barely compatible talents of the first order, the architect Charles Barrie [sic], and the designer Augustus Welby [sic] Pugin, the building we see today is an architectural monument of the first order.James Pope-Hennessy's elegant and sumpathetic essay, which deals as much with the atmosphere of this unique complex of buildings as it does with the fabric, both in its desigh, execution, and later history, first appeared just after the last war.This edition is revised, and illustrated in colour with ten photographs by Eric de Mare, and six contemporary oil paintings and prints. It should do much to re-establish the reputation of a building whose fame and veneration has long tended to obscure its real and enduring merit.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
