"When it comes to reading the excellent text and looking at the
beautiful illustrations of The Architectural History of Venice .. .
take your time. Make the pleasure last. Savor this new book. . . .
Anyone can enjoy it whether as an armchair preparation for or a
substitute for an actual visit or as a way to recall the pleasures
of an actual visit."—Leonard R. N. Ashley, Bibliothèque d’Humanisme
et Renaissance
"The Architectural History of Venice has now emerged in a wholly
updated form, replenished with excellent new colour illustrations.
It is the ideal companion for anyone seeking to evade the
day-trippers and embark, with the help of Howard’s knowledge and
insights, on an exploration of the city’s buildings. This is a
hugely rewarding and accessible book."—Modern Painters
"Well documented and superbly illustrated. . . . This will surely
remain the standard work on the subject, based on acquaintance with
the architecture of western Asia as well as that of Venice about
which she has written the best brief history."—Hugh Honour, New
York Review of Books
"First published in 1980, Howard’s Architectural History of Venice
hasbecome an indispensable guide to the architectural treasures of
Venice. This new, revised and enlarged version further improves on
the first edition: new chapters have been added to explore the most
recent architectural developments in Venice. . . . This beautifully
illustrated, handy, one-volume discussion of the architectural
history of Venice will appeal as much to an audience already
familiar with the classic first edition as to a new generation of
readers."—Gabriele Neher, The Art Book
