Architectural Principles in the Age of Humanism
Sir Kenneth Clark wrote in the Architectural Review, that the first result of this book was "to dispose, once and for all, of the hedonist, or purely aesthetic, theory of Renaissance architecture, ' and this defines Wittkower's intention in a nutshell.
Rudolf Wittkower
Autore di studi imprescindibili sull'arte e la cultura artistica del Rinascimento e del barocco, Rudolf Wittkower (1901-1971) condivide con i nomi più celebri della sua generazione - Erwin Panofsky, Ernst Gombrich, Nikolaus Pevsner - lo status di vero e proprio classico della storia dell'arte. Diretto erede dei padri fondatori della Kunstwissenschaft tedesca, Wittkower si afferma in ambito anglosassone (dapprima al Warburg Institute di Londra, più tardi alla Columbia University), operando al crocevia tra alcune delle principali tendenze della ricerca e del pensiero del xx secolo. In questo agile profilo introduttivo, unico nel suo genere, Alina Payne si dedica a una decifrazione chirurgica...
Art and Architecture in Italy, 1600–1750
This classic survey of Italian Baroque art and architecture focuses on the arts in every center between Venice and Sicily in the early, high, and late Baroque periods. The heart of the study, however, lies in the architecture and sculpture of the exhilarating years of Roman High Baroque, when Bernini, Borromini, and Cortona were all at work under a series of enlightened popes. Wittkower's text is now accompanied by a critical introduction and substantial new bibliography. This edition will also include color illustrations for the first time. This is the first book in the three volume survey.

Selected Lectures of Rudolf Wittkower
Drawn from the unpublished lectures and notes of one of the modern giants of art history, this book presents the late Rudolf Wittkower's thoughts about the relation between European and non-European civilizations. In a series of stimulating and speculative essays, Wittkower considers the interrelationship between the East and the West from ancient to modern times. He shows the variety and compatability of Eastern and Western motifs, styles, and iconography. The book is comprehensive in scope, with painting, sculpture, architecture, and the decorative arts included in this broad examination of the artistic links between East and West.
Sculpture
With the aid of over 180 photographs, this book studies what unites and separates sculptors across the centuries. It looks at the masters of Archaic Greece, the Middle Ages, through the great names of Michelangelo, Cellini and Bernini to Rodin, Brancusi and Henry Moore. By studying their working methods and techniques, the author discloses their artistic ideas and convictions, thereby opening up new avenues of approach for the spectator.
