PUGIN*S ECCLESIASTICAL ORNAMENT (DOVER PICTORIAL ARCHIVES)

Description

While Victorian artist and architect A. Welby Pugin is perhaps best known for his work on the Houses of Parliament in the neo-Gothic style, he also produced a wealth of beautiful ecclesiastical designs that hark back to their medieval roots.
These spectacular color plates, displaying a selection of Pugin’s religious motifs, provide graphic artists with a magnificent sourcebook of ideas. This new anthology reveals Pugin’s masterful use of pattern, color, and ornamentation?as presented in hundreds of designs that embellish altar cloths, crosses, and church vestments.
