{"product_id":"baldassare-longhena-and-venetian-baroque-architecture","title":"Baldassare Longhena and Venetian Baroque Architecture","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis fascinating book offers the first comprehensive study in English of Baldassare Longhena (15981682), the indispensable architect of the Venetian Baroque. While Longhena s legacy is most visible in his iconic Madonna della Salute, the 17thcentury basilica devoted to the Virgin Mary in gratitude for Venice s deliverance from the plague, and in the Pesaro and Rezzonico palaces along the Grand Canal, he created a plethora of other works over the course of a career that spanned half a century.Andrew Hopkins s lucid and thoughtprovoking text considers the full span of Longhena s illustrious career, from his monumental staircases and libraries to the palaces commissioned by private patrons and his projects for Venice s Greek and Jewish communities. This lively account is accompanied by more than sixty color and 300 blackandwhite photographs commissioned especially for the book. A complete list of Longhena s work is included in an appendix.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47335868825845,"sku":"SONG0300181094","price":75.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/5804\/8501\/files\/71t3c8Twi6L.jpg?v=1763994124","url":"https:\/\/ergodebooks.com\/products\/baldassare-longhena-and-venetian-baroque-architecture","provider":"Ergodebooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
