商品簡介
This lavish, oversize volume (12.25x12.25") presents full-page photos (and smaller ones) showcasing the rooms, mosaics, and other decorations of the royal Palace, better known as the Palace of the Normans. The Palatine Chapel is located there, and a confluence of classical, Byzantine, and Arab traditions make the palace unique. Four essays highlight its importance across time--since construction began in the ninth century through to its current functioning as the seat of government. Publication of this documentation was spurred by a reinvigorated effort to coordinate conservation and recovery efforts. Distribution in North America is by ACC Distribution.
