Innovative forms of visual representation in the long eighteenth
century were made possible through the medium of print. In turn,
they enabled the dissemination of knowledge about the ancient world
and its relationship to the ever-refining set of cultural values
applied to and associated with the past.
"Tracing" "Architecture" discusses the study of the ancient
world - including Egyptian, Greek, Roman and British antiquities -
through the medium of print as a Europe-wide phenomenon, where the
visual language of the printed image transcended national
boundaries. This book allows the reader to explore the relationship
between the international currency of 'antiquity' and indigenous
traditions of aesthetic philosophy and architectural design. The
importance of this and the changing relationship between text and
image is also considered, thereby raising questions about the
relationship between the mass-produced image and the original, in
an era before Walter Benjamin's age of mechanical
reproduction.
"Tracing Architecture" is a fascinating study of the
relationship between architecture, antiquity and aesthetics in a
European context. It will be of interest to those studying and
working in the fields of art history, architecture, classics and
ancient history.
