Classical Splendor by Alexandra Alevizatos Kirtley PDF Summary

Book Description: This handsome book explores in depth a group of stunning painted and gilded furniture designed by the architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe (1764-1820), best known for originating the plans for the United States Capitol. The furniture was made in Philadelphia for one of the city's finest houses--the home of William and Mary Wilcocks Waln, which Latrobe also designed. Drawing on a multiyear conservation and research project, Classical Splendor reveals new insights into the patrons, makers, and history behind these extraordinary pieces. In addition to extensively documenting each item, the book attests to Latrobe's significant contributions to American furniture design--his pieces for the Waln house introduced, and served as exemplars of, a classical style rooted in ancient Greek and Roman design. Published in association with the Philadelphia Museum of Art Exhibition Schedule: Philadelphia Museum of Art (09/03/16-01/01/17)
