商品簡介
Some believe Gothic architecture never really died out but hid in nooks and crannies or even in whole installations of Gothic Revival, while purists maintain that only Gothic is Gothic. This collection of ten articles addresses the revival of interest in Gothic Revival as well as in the art form itself, covering fan painting from Henry VII's chapel in Westminster Abbey to the Monkstown parish church, Batty Langley in Ireland, Leap Castle in County Offaly, Christopher Myers, neo-Gothic residences in Poland and England built from pattern books, Thomas Rickman in Ireland, Edward Pierce, courthouses in Sligo, Gothic Revival in a New York church and the progress in taste to Gothic Revival. The illustrations, including the monochrome photographs, are very well-chosen. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation c2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
