Classical Ornament
Autor Philippa Lewisen Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 mar 2027
What is egg and dart? Why are acanthus leaves so special? Where would you find gadrooning and strigillation? What are friezes, dentils, meanders, volutes, palmettes, and rosettes, and where will you likely find them? In this beautiful book, Philippa Lewis unpacks the rich vocabulary of classical ornament, from the Five Orders, with their columns, capitals, and entablatures, to the fabulous patterns and motifs which adorn them. An indispensable guide to the visual language that still surrounds us today.
