內容簡介
內容簡介 ✰威尼斯：素描指南 Matthew Rice是一位長期觀察城市、建築與當中居民的觀察者和插畫家，他有一種神奇的力量，就是能夠透過墨水與畫筆，精準傳達城市的能量，多年來威尼斯一直是他創作的靈感泉源，並且在書中捕捉了這個城市最迷人的各種亮點。 基於他對建築的熱情，書中提供了大量關於威尼斯城市裡「石頭」建材的訊息，包括透過圖畫解釋，介紹了這個城市最具代表性的建築風格，包括拜占庭式、哥德式、文藝復興、巴洛克式等多樣化的造型，完美呈現出當地的景觀，在無法旅行的時刻，盡享豐富的美景！ Matthew Rice is a long-time observer and illustrator of cities, buildings and all those who inhabit them, with an uncanny ability to express the energy of a place through a few lines of ink and splashes of paint. For years, Venice has been a source of deep creative inspiration for him; and now, in Venice: A Sketchbook Guide, he captures the highlights of this most beguiling of Italian cities.Unsurprisingly, given his abiding passion for architecture, Matthew provides a wealth of information about the 'stones' of Venice, including an illustrated guide to the main building styles of the city - Byzantine, Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque and Modern - and exemplars of its balconies, bridges and campaniles. Further sections explore the city's sestieri - its six residential quarters - as well as its history, paintings, festivals, wildlife and, not least, its cicchetti and aperitivi.Following the same landscape format as Matthew's real-life sketchbooks, Venice: A Sketchbook Guide will combine enchanting watercolour illustrations with an informed, personal and witty text, and promises to delight all visitors to Venice, armchair or actual."
