England's Cathedrals in WatercolourScala, 1999 - 64 strán (strany) Featuring more than 40 of Peter Hume's paintings, this lavishly illustrated coffee table book captures the subtle beauty of England's Medieval cathedrals. These images, each presented on double page spreads, provide an evocative record of English history. From Saxon builders to the ascension of Norman power, through the innovative expression of the Reformation and the post-Restoration resurgence, Hume concludes with the Victorian restorers and the scars of two world wars. The books follows the foot-steps of Hume's 1996 pilgrimage that was the catalyst for its creation. England's Cathedrals in Watercolour is a tribute to the genius, quality and craftsmanship of English architecture created to pay homage to God. |
