Selected both for their distinctive Roman character and for their architectural diversity, the 42 detailed pen-and-ink drawings in this collection, supplemented with carefully chosen quotations, include famous landmarks such as the Basilica of St Paul, close-ups of architectural flourishes, and mosaics from across the city, with 4-page gatefold panoramas depicting Vatican City and Il Vittoriano.
This stunning book presents the fine art work of Desmond Freeman's Rome
collection. Selected here are 42 highly detailed full-colour plus monochrome pen and ink sketches of the classical and contemporary architecture of Rome and its environs. Quotations from well-known
authors, poets, and artists accompany these exquisite works. The preface
describes the story of how this book forms part of an award-winning
series in progress of five publications entitled Great European Cities - Impressions in Ink which to date includes Venice and Paris; the Rome collection is third in this successful series.
