"Traditionally a critical component of the education of any architect was to draw the ruins of ancient Rome, reconstructing either from ancient sources or, more often, pure fantasy, what the original structures must have looked like. From this training emerged generations of architects imbued with the aesthetic ideals that would form the Neoclassical and Beaux-Arts building styles. In this magnificently printed volume are reproduced some of the most extraordinarily handsome drawings of the ruins of ancient Rome made by French "Prix de Rome" architects from 1775 through 1925. Accompanied by text that explains how the Prix de Rome was awarded and the significance of the prize in the history of architecture, as well as how the study of ancient models formed the basis for nineteenth- and early twentieth-century architectural styles, these drawings provide an invaluable understanding of how the modern imagination recorded and transformed ancient fragments into a modern architectural idiom. / Massimiliano David is a scholar of archaeology and the history of ancient art." - Publisher.. 1st.

The age of Goethe, Beethoven, and Kant was a brilliant period in the history of the visual arts in Germany. Painters such as Caspar David Friedrich and Philipp Otto Runge, the architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel, and the sculptor Johann Gottfried Schadow were central personalities in the Romantic movement, while a generation later the painter and draftsman Adolph Menzel was no less important in the context of European realism. Fuseli to Menzel: Drawings and Watercolors in the Age of Goethe is the catalogue of an exhibition selected from one of the world's premier private collections of German drawings from the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Following its tour in Germany, the show will be presented in 1998 at the Harvard University Art Museums, the Frick Collection, and the J. Paul Getty Museum. The catalogue features 80 drawings and watercolors by 49 artists, including Henry Fuseli, Friedrich, Menzel, Runge, and Schinkel. Each work is reproduced in color and interpreted in its art historical context. Essays survey aspects of German drawing during the period, and trace the development of the collection formed by the Winterstein family of Munich, from which the exhibition has been selected. This volume is the most comprehensive publication on this subject available in English. -- with a bonus offer-- ., Univ, 2000, 6<
