Recenzii
"As well as examining Wyatt's complex web of wealthy patrons, the book traces his influence both on contemporaries (such as his great rival John Adam) and those who followed him, shedding new light on modern architectural and design history."—Apollo Magazine
"A long-overdue and beautifully produced book that sets James Wyatt in his rightful place at the front of Georgian architecture… This dazzlingly beautiful book changes our entire picture of Georgian architecture."—David Watkins, Country Life
"John Martin Robinson's masterly and hugely enjoyable book shows off the astonishing range of Wyatt's work as never before, compositions on the grand scale, small pretty villas and page after page of ravishingly lovely interiors."—Marcus Binney, The Times
“[An] insightful analysis of Wyatt's style and influence.”—Publishers Weekly
“John Martin Robinson’s very real achievement must be recognised; his study is of major importance in establishing the full range of Wyatt’s career and will remain the standard reference for many years to come.”—Robin Middleton, Burlington Magazine
