A reprint of Paul Letarouilly's masterpiece. Edifices de Rome Moderne, has been hailed as the one of the most beautiful books on Renaissance architecture ever published. Letarouilly devoted more than 3 decades to drawing the plans, sections, elevations, perspectives, and details of the gardens, convents, palaces, and churches of Renaissance Rome. His keen observational ability and immaculate drawing skills make this work an indispensable source.
