In 1826 the great German architect, Schinkel, paid a visit to France and Britain and this is the complete translation into English of the journal that he kept on his travels. It also includes reproductions of all of the drawings that he made of buildings, machinery or workshops that he thought to be of interest.
There is a copius and wide-ranging body of literature on Karl Friedrich Schinkel, Germany's most important 19th-century architect.This volume hopes to fill the gap by providing the fullest possible compliation.
Schinkel's outstanding achievements as an architect and painter are undisputed. In contrast, Schinkel, the sculptor, is largely unknown. Although it can be proven that he never molded works himself or used a chisel, his drawn designs gave expression to his ideas about sculpture. The present volume traces Schinkel's path to sculpture.
