Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"A handsome new book by art and architecture historian Cammy Brothers,
Giuliano da Sangallo and the Ruins of Rome helps to unravel the riddle of where Bramante got his knowledge of ancient building, and her history is a bold revision of the standard accounts. . . . This book is truly a brilliant, unprecedented scholarly achievement that should place her in the front rank of architectural historians working today."
---Mark Alan Hewitt, Common Edge"Engagingly written and richly illustrated study of Giuliano da Sangallo. . . . Brothers’s study is a welcome intervention that reminds us that. . . . [Sangallo] was integral to how the next generations . . . produced their own vision of antiquity that informed urban renewal in the baroque Eternal City and beyond."
---Robert John Clines, Renaissance Studies"[A] beautifully illustrated analysis of Sangallo's work." * Choice *
"
A very important and welcome contribution to architectural and art histories of the Italian Renaissance, to studies of Rome, and to the history of the book. It is synthetic and highly innovative, like Giuliano himself.

---Mirka Benes, Renaissance and Reformation"
A refreshingly original contribution to the field.

---David Hemsoll, Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians"
An impressive, comprehensive presentation and an eye-opening reading of the marvelous drawings, contextualized in a rich and intelligent discussion of their position within the architectural practice of Giuliano da Sangallo and the architectural theory of his time.
