A 10th Anniversary Sale book! Rome: Art and ArchitectureThree thousand years of history, much of it centered on Rome, have made the city a showcase for European art unlike any other. This book catalogs many not-to-be-missed sights, including the Piazza Venezia; the arches of Septimus Severus, Titus, and Constantine; the Colosseum; the Museo Palatino, the Froum of Trajan, the Pantheon, the Villa Borghese, and the Vatican and its museums. Compact enough to take on a tour, these pleasingly chunky art books focus on a particular city or region, presenting outstanding examples of the art and architecture found there. Each offers a quick orientation and art historical explanations, color photographs of the works discussed, essays on history and culture, town maps and ground plans with thumbnail views, an illustrated time chart, and a guide to architectural styles.
