Architectural historian Vaughan Hart examines Vanbrugh's surviving, destroyed, and unrealized buildings--among them Castle Howard and Blenheim Palace--outlining the contemporary political and social events that influenced their design and showing how these strikingly original buildings can be interpreted through reference to classical mythology, Renaissance fortifications, and medieval houses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vaughan Hart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300119291\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300119299\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.28h x 8.92w x 1.09d","brand":"Vaughan Hart","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45896405909759,"sku":"9780300119299","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f1b8d9c6-e990-4dd7-9b51-67c9be1d51a8.jpg?v=1721371313","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sir-john-vanbrugh-vaughan-hart-9780300119299","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
