- The substantial book covers the phenomenon, not comprehensively examined before, of how Italian Renaissance architecture imitated – or emulated – the antique over the course of 150 years, paying particular and extensive attention to Florence and Rome and the figures mostly responsible – e.g. Brunelleschi, Bramante, Raphael and Michelangelo – for pioneering new precepts and methods for achieving this. Written over the course of five years and also dependent on two decades of previous research, it identifies these methods and illustrates them through numerous specific examples, and it explores how they related to contemporaneous theories of linguistic and literary imitation.
