The Art of Building has captured the interest of artists from the
Roman period to today. The process of construction appears in
western art in all its details, trades, and operations. Michael
Tutton investigates the representation of building processes and
materials through an examination of paintings, illuminated
manuscripts, watercolours, prints, drawings and sculpture.
Technical terms are explained and detailed interpretations of each
work are provided, with insights into the artists' inspiration and
themes. Even paintings not wholly or principally devoted to
construction sites may give tantalising glimpses of building
activity. How do these images convey meaning? How much is imagined;
how much is authentic? Fully referenced endnotes, bibliography, and
glossary complement the text and captions, informing not only the
architectural and construction historian, but also those simply
interested in art.
