The City Rehearsed

Object, Architecture, and Print in the Worlds of Hans Vredeman de Vries

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The City Rehearsed offers a new perspective on printed architecture in early modern Europe through the lens of Hans Vredeman de Vries. It focuses on the active role his prints played in the life of urban readers outside of a narrowly-defined "Flemish" architectural history. This is a study with clear interest for historians of art and the built environment.
