A guide to the glories of Rome, conveyed by means of an artist's
sketchbook Matthew Rice is a long-time observer and illustrator of
cities, buildings and all those who inhabit them, with an uncanny
ability to express the energy of a place through a few lines of ink
and splashes of paint. In the first book in this new sketchbook
series, he explored the glittering canals of Venice: now he turns
his attention to Rome, the Eternal City. Rome is a place where the
ancient, the baroque and the modern clash, and this tension runs
through Matthew's paintings. In this guide, he makes sly
juxtapositions of people and animals against the backdrop of the
city's architectural and artistic wonders, its ruins and its
ristoranti. Matthew's ability to notice detail, his sense of light
and dark, his expert's knowledge of architecture and how it creates
an atmosphere allows him to present Rome, in these pages, in its
all its living, breathing splendour. Following the same landscape
format as Matthew's real-life sketchbooks, Rome: A Sketchbook will
combine enchanting watercolour illustrations with an informed,
personal and witty text, and promises to delight all visitors to
Rome, armchair or actual.
