the Story of the Great Cathedral in Florence
May 12, 2014
"Acclaimed author Ross King, known for both his historical fiction and his narrative nonfiction about the arts, compellingly recounts how Filippo Brunelleschi designed and executed the most magnificent church dome in Florence. Weaving together vivid details of Brunelleschi's personal life, his artistic and engineering discoveries, and the history of 15th-century Florence, Brunelleschi's Dome celebrates the achievement that "would forever transform architecture from a mechanical craft into a creative art" (Booklist)."
