Sinossi
Excerpt from An Attempt to Determine the Exact Character of Elizabethan Architecture: Illustrated by Parallels of Dorton House, Hatfield, Longleate, and Wollaton, in England, and the Palazzo Della Cancellaria, at Rome
But in England, where the Gothic had so long obtained, it could scarcely be expected but that some portions of that style would insinuate itself into designs, which, though probably composed and in part executed by Italians, must, in many in stances, have been entrusted to the superintendence of native artists. These are, however, exceptions to the true character of the style, which admits no fiature of Gothic into its composition: its elements are entirely drawn from Roman examples, and every moulding is essentially Roman in its curvature.
Among the most celebrated mansions erected in England, in the above-named style and period, and which now exist, are Lon gleate in Wiltshire, Wolls ton H all in Nottinghamshire, parts of Hatfield House, in Hertfordshire, Longford Castle, Wilt shire, Audley End, Essex, and Dorton House, in Buckinghamshire; while a chimney-piece in Wind sor Castle, and the screens of the Middle Temple and Gray's Inn exhibit specimens of the style, asapplied to interior decoration. These examples may be re garded as models of Elizabethan, founded on the Cinque Cento of Italy, and with no trace of the Gothic, which it superseded.

An Attempt to Determine the Exact Character of Elizabethan Architecture
Print on DemandDa: Forgotten Books, London, Regno Unito
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a cross between the Renaissance styles of Italy and the Gothic style prevalent in England in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, which the author terms the Elizabethan style. It is clarified from the onset that Elizabethan style is not a haphazard amalgamation of these two styles, as some examples from the period might suggest, but rather a clearly defined set of architectural elements drawn from Roman sources, strictly adhering to their original curvatures. This book aims to capture and define the true essence of the style, free from the distortions and misinterpretations that have laden its history, by examining prominent examples of the style, such as Longleat House and Hardwick Hall, and comparing them with Italian models such as the Cancelleria Palace in Rome. Through this analysis, the author reveals the Elizabethan style as neither Renaissance nor Gothic, but a unique architectural style in its own right that represents a pivotal moment in the transition from medieval to modern architecture. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
