Architecture: Gothic and Renaissance is a book written by Thomas Roger Smith and originally published in 1908. The book is a comprehensive study of the two major architectural styles that dominated Europe during the medieval and early modern periods. The Gothic and Renaissance styles are examined in detail, with a focus on their origins, evolution, and key features.The book begins with an introduction to the Gothic style, which emerged in the 12th century and lasted until the 16th century. Smith discusses the Gothic's origins in France and its spread throughout Europe, examining key examples of Gothic architecture such as cathedrals, castles, and town halls. He also explores the various elements that make up Gothic architecture, including pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses.The second half of the book focuses on the Renaissance style, which emerged in Italy in the 14th century and spread throughout Europe in the 16th century. Smith examines the key features of Renaissance architecture, including symmetry, proportion, and classical motifs such as columns, pediments, and domes. He also discusses the role of Renaissance architects such as Brunelleschi, Palladio, and Michelangelo in shaping the style.Throughout the book, Smith provides numerous illustrations and photographs of key examples of Gothic and Renaissance architecture, allowing readers to visualize the key features and details of each style. He also provides a glossary of architectural terms and a bibliography for further reading.Overall, Architecture: Gothic and Renaissance is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history and development of these two important architectural styles.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
