Tanja Timmerman Books

From small urban houses to large beach getaways, this book brings together a vast selection of the most interesting and spectacular residential projects constructed in the last few years. Beyond the available surface area or the chosen style of architecture, the house, like the world's view of the body, is and must be a mirror of our habits and preferences. Each house within this book, from small weekend refuges to sprawling family houses, attains a certain grandeur with which the reader can identify. SELLING POINTS: * High-quality, often full-page colour photographs of exteriors, interiors and architectural details * Informative articles * Detailed plans and elevations AUTHORS: Antoni Corcuera studied architecture and photography and has been working since 2003 as an editor and freelance photographer throughout the Netherlands and Spain. Currently he collaborates with various revues and international publications. Christian Campos is a journalist and the editor in chief of the lifestyle magazine H, as well as editor specializing in architecture and interior, graphic, and industrial design.

This comprehensive volume provides readers with multi-faceted insights into the full abundance of all the movements and schools of art between 1750 and 1848. It presents a comprehensive overview of the development of Neo-classicist and Romantic art in Europe and North America. It features illuminating excursions into areas such as the foundations of Neoclassicism in the Renaissance architecture of Andrea Palladio (1508-1580). It discusses European painting between two revolutions: the development of painting in France from Jacques Louis David through to Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres and his antipode, Eugene Delacroix. It is richly illustrated with photographs taken exclusively for this book. Neoclassicism, as a return to the forms and ideals of ancient art, and Romanticism, as an intellectual attitude, are no longer seen as mutually exclusive alternatives.
