Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

2006 first edition Yale University Press (New Haven, Connecticut), 7 1/2 x 10 3/8 inches tall hardcover in publisher's unclipped dust jacket, beige paper-covered boards over blue cloth gilt-lettered spine, pale blue endpapers, copiously illustrated with black-and-white photographs and drawings, xxxi, 408 pp. plus 128 un-numbered pages of plates. Very slight edgewear to covers, with minor bumping to the lower tips of both front and rear cover. On the top margin of the blank front free-endpaper, a two-inch spot with slight paper residue where a label was removed. Otherwise, a very good copy - clean, bright and unmarked - in a very good dust jacket which is nicely preserved and displayed in a clear archival Brodart sleeve. Note that this is a heavy and oversized book, so additional postage will be required for international or priority orders. ~KK~ [4.0P] Manfredo Tafuri (1935-1994) is acknowledged as one of Italy?s most influential architectural historians. In his final work, Interpreting the Renaissance, published here in English (the Italian edition, Ricerca del Rinascimento, appeared in 1992), Tafuri analyzes Renaissance architecture from a variety of perspectives, exploring questions that occupied him for over thirty years. What theoretical terms were used to describe the humanist analogy between architecture and language? Is it possible to identify the political motivations behind the period?s new urban strategies? And how does humanism embody both an attachment to tradition and an urge to experiment? Tafuri studies the theory and practice of Renaissance architecture, offering new and compelling readings of its various social, intellectual and cultural contexts, while providing a broad understanding of uses of representation that shaped the entire era. He synthesizes the history of architectural ideas and projects through discussions of the great centers of architectural innovation in Italy (Florence, Rome, and Venice), key patrons from the middle of the fifteenth century (Pope Nicholas V) to the early sixteenth century (Pope Leo X), and crucial figures such as Leon Battista Alberti, Filippo Brunelleschi, Lorenzo de? Medici, Raphael, Baldassare Castiglione, and Giulio Romano. A magnum opus by one of Europe?s finest scholars, Interpreting the Renaissance is an essential book for anyone interested in the architecture and culture of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Italy.
