Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Philip Hooker: A Contribution to the Study of the Renaissance in America' offers a scholarly examination of the life and legacy of one of early America's most influential architects. Focused on the prolific career of Philip Hooker, the work explores his pivotal role in shaping the architectural landscape of Albany, New York, during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Edward W. Root meticulously documents Hooker's mastery of the Federal style, highlighting his significant contributions to civic, religious, and residential design.The book situates Hooker's output within the broader context of what is termed the American architectural 'Renaissance,' illustrating how his aesthetic choices reflected the burgeoning aspirations of a young nation. Readers will find detailed accounts of Hooker's major commissions, including early iterations of the Albany City Hall and the New York State Capitol, as well as an analysis of the classical influences that informed his work. By tracing the development of Hooker's unique style, this volume serves as an essential resource for students of American art history and architectural evolution.

The signatures of Sutcliffe and Woolley are on a 16 x 18 cm. piece of grey paper, cut from an album, those of the other three men are crowded onto an L-shaped piece of paper, laid down on the same leaf.
