Sketches of Art and Architecture (1893)

Sketches of Art and Architecture is a book written by John T. Michau and first published in 1893. The book is a collection of sketches and drawings that Michau created during his travels throughout Europe, particularly in Italy and France. The sketches depict various works of art and architectural structures that Michau encountered during his travels, including cathedrals, castles, and sculptures. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of art and architecture. One chapter is dedicated to Gothic architecture, while another focuses on Renaissance art. Michau's sketches are accompanied by detailed descriptions and historical information about the works of art and architecture depicted. Sketches of Art and Architecture is a valuable resource for art historians, architects, and anyone interested in European art and architecture. The book provides a unique glimpse into the artistic and architectural styles of the past, and the sketches themselves are beautiful works of art in their own right.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
