Summary:
Fresques de Fontainebleau ou de l'Escurial, jardins Boboli, monstres de Bomarzo ou grottes de la villa Borromée sur le lac Majeur sont les hauts lieux du maniérisme. Redécouvert au début du XXe siècle, le maniérisme, souvent confondu avec la Renaissance dont il constitue le prolongement, demeure mal identifié. On peut y reconnaître une avant-garde avant la lettre, comme le démontre avec brio Patricia Falguières. Une avant-garde triomphante puisque le maniérisme fut à l'origine du premier grand style international depuis le gothique. À partir de Fontainebleau (son foyer central avec Florence et Rome), il étend son emprise sur l'Europe du XVIe siècle. Partout images et formes recyclent, durant près d'un siècle, les modèles inventés par Rosso, le Parmesan, le Primatice... Au cœur de cette aventure, un héros inattendu, Michel-Ange - figure tutélaire d'une génération de jeunes artistes indisciplinés. Tout à la fois excentriques géniaux et techniciens exceptionnels, individualistes forcenés et compétiteurs féroces, ils vont forger le langage artistique de l'Europe moderne, réinventer les règles du grand décor, populariser la figure de l'artiste génial. Ils ont aussi accrédité l'idée que l'art n'est pas seulement une question de savoir-faire, mais d'" idée " et de " génie ".

Summary:
What are the unique characteristics that make a house Colonial or Craftsman, Modern or Deco, or any of the other approximately 20 styles of domestic architecture common in the United States? At a time of near-obsessive attention to home design and renovation, this compact, easily accessible guide - the only book of its kind with all colour photography - makes the identification of house styles a breeze. Each style is described by author William Morgan, a Pulitzer Prize-nominated architectural historian, in a short historical summary, alongside a list of its distinguishing features. Multiple examples of each house style are provided - the book includes 350 houses from more than 40 states - so the reader can see the region-specific variations. Complementing the beautiful colour photographs is a selection of line drawings highlighting each style's key attributes. Both at the desk and in the field, for a wide audience of discerning house hunters, homeowners, and realtors; architects, builders, and students; and the ever-increasing public with a seemingly insatiable curiosity about residential design, this elegant, informative, portable volume will be an invaluable resource for years to come.

Summary:
This book offers an engaging and original perspective on the private lives and material culture of patrician families in sixteenth-century Venice. Art historian Patricia Fortini Brown takes us behind the elegant façades of grand palaces built along the Venetian canals and examines the roles of both fine and applied arts in family life as well as the public messages that these impressive homes conveyed. Illustrated with hundreds of varied and unusual images, the book provides a lively picture of the aristocratic lifestyle during a period of changing definitions of nobility. The author considers such wide-ranging themes as attitudes toward wealth and display, the articulation of family identity, and the visual culture of Venetian women - how they decorated their homes, dressed, undertook domestic tasks, entertained, and raised their children. Recapturing the interplay between the public and private, she offers an account of Venetian households rich in detail.
