Description for Becoming an Architect in Renaissance Italy: Art, Science, and the Career of Baldassarre Peruzzi
Hardback. Num Pages: 224 pages, 35 color + 140 b/w illus. BIC Classification: 1DST; 3H; 3JB; AMB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 289 x 257 x 22. Weight in Grams: 1360.

Huppert taps into a known, but neglected resource—Peruzzi’s autograph drawings—and reveals the full scope and artistic mastery of Peruzzi’s work and its enduring influence.
Extraordinary not only in their beauty and design inventiveness, but also in the varied representational techniques and ... Read more
