Arthur Kingsley Porter

Lombard Architecture V1 is a book written by Arthur Kingsley Porter and first published in 1917. The book is a comprehensive study of the architecture of Lombardy, a region in northern Italy, during the medieval period. Porter, a renowned art historian and archaeologist, provides an in-depth analysis of the region's architectural styles, techniques, and influences, drawing on extensive research and his own fieldwork. The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a particular aspect of Lombard architecture, such as churches, palaces, and civic buildings. Porter also examines the social and cultural context in which these buildings were constructed, highlighting the role of patronage and the influence of the church. The book is richly illustrated with photographs, plans, and drawings, providing a visual guide to the various architectural styles and techniques discussed. Lombard Architecture V1 is a valuable resource for scholars, students, and enthusiasts of medieval architecture and Italian history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
