商品簡介
Neville (Early Modern Art and Architecture, University of California at Riverside) examines the career of Nicodemus Tessin the Elder, showing how the work of this often overlooked Swedish architect fits in with the development of architecture in Europe as a whole. Over a long career, Tessin designed numerous distinctive palaces, banks, courthouses, fortifications, and other buildings for the Swedish crown, the nobility, and for the city of Stockholm--buildings that attracted international attention and set new standards for princely architecture. Tessin was also one of the first architects in northern Europe to separate the process of design from that of construction to develop a modern architectural studio. Generously illustrated with photographs, plans, and architectural drawings, this book will greatly interest historians of architecture and art history.
