About This Item
New York: Garland Publishing. Very Good- with no dust jacket. 1979. Hardcover. 0824039580 . Library stamps/marks/labels/pocket, cocked, otherwise light wear. Solid hardcover.; Architectural criticism of the now abandoned, heavily restored fifteenth-century Church of San Sebastiano in Mantua, and the ecclesiastical architecture of Leone Battista Alberti. "Alberti may be the first architect consciously and systematically to construct a church, namely San Sebastiano, less in terms of the function it was to serve as a place of worship or as a commemorative monument, but more in terms of its urban function and more importantly in terms of its esthetic function: by its beauty and perfection, an earthly image, if not also realization, of the heavenly Jerusalem." ; Outstanding Dissertations in the Fine Arts; Ex-Library; 349 pages .
