About this book

Age of the Grand Tour by Anthony Burgess. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780236308118.

The book begins with a brilliantly evocative essay by Anthony Burgess, which strikingly recreates the Grand Tour experience, and a brief but penetrating article on eighteenth-century art by Francis Haskell. The book includes sixteen full-page colour plates and four facsimile views by Piranesi and Zocchi, magnificent examples of the painters and the engravers art, all superbly reproduced with sensitive accuracy. The art of Turner, Tiepolo, Wattreau and Canaletto has never appeared to a greater advantage. Throughout the book are interspersed more than 230 monochrome engravings, water-colours and drawings.
