Designs of Desire: Architectural and Ornament Prints and Drawings 1500-1850

Timothy Clifford et al

Breaking new ground for the National Galleries of Scotland, this book introduces a wide selection of drawings and prints, not associated with paintings and frescoes, but with architecture, sculpture and the applied arts. It looks at how craftsmen have depended on artists - whether architects, painters or sculptors - to provide designs and patterns for their artefacts.
