Here is the first book in English to survey the whole work of the master. The author, former Director of the Courtauld Institute of Art, is known internationally for his many works on French and Italian architecture and painting. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this lucid and fully illustrated account, Anthony Blunt charts Borromini's career and analyzes and assesses his art. Mr. Blunt tells of Borromini's training, relating his style to that of Bernini, under whom he worked, and to the architecture from which he learned, for example Michelangelo's. Borromini's patrons allowed him freedom to evolve his own ideas, and his originality and imagination in inventing new architectural forms become apparent as the author studies individual commissions. His imagination was apparently limitless, but his inventions evolved in terms of rigidly controlled geometry. It is this combination of revolutionary inventiveness and intellectual control that gives Borromini's work particular appeal in the twentieth century.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this richly illustrated book, Anthony Blunt shows how the combination of revolutionary inventiveness and intellectual control gives Borromini's work its appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.71 x 9.09 x 6.02 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 15, 1989\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52490630660389,"sku":"9780674079267","price":77.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/5104\/0293\/files\/clFwMlJIa3J2OFpTL2tSa0NwcDFCQT09.webp?v=1780080057","url":"https:\/\/world-safari-shops.myshopify.com\/products\/borromini-paperback","provider":"World Safari Shops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
