Here is the first book in English to survey the whole work of the master. The author  former Director of the Courtauld Institute of Art  is known internationally for his many works on French and Italian architecture and painting.  In this lucid and fully illustrated account  Anthony Blunt charts Borrominis career and analyzes and assesses his art. Mr. Blunt tells of Borrominis training  relating his style to that of Bernini  under whom he worked  and to the architecture from which he learned  for example Michelangelos. Borrominis patrons allowed him freedom to evolve his own ideas  and his originality and imagination in inventing new architectural forms become apparent as the author studies individual commissions. His imagination was apparently limitless  but his inventions evolved in terms of rigidly controlled geometry. It is this combination of revolutionary inventiveness and intellectual control that gives Borrominis work particular appeal in the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45665792852021,"sku":"ByrdShop_0674079264","price":53.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780674079267.jpg?v=1782407504","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/borromini-9780674079267","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
