Châteaux of the Loire-Valley - Robert Polidori
KORTE INHOUD
In this book the photographer Robert Polidori has captured more than seventy châteaux of the Loire in unique pictures. He depicts the Château of Blois in its imposing beauty, the original fortifications in Chinon and Angers, and the magnificent Azay-le-Rideau. It goes without saying that this splendid Chambord is here as well, a place redolent of legend and history like almost no other.
The detailed presentation does not only portray proud stately homes, it also provides views of a unique historic region. The Loire Valley has drawn kings to it like no other part of France, and it has here that they erected their magnificent, and their modest, buildings.
The text accompanying these pictures has been written by Jean-Marie Pérouse de Montclos. A reputed architectural historian, he brings the history of the region and its triumphal châteaux to life with precise and intruiging descriptions.
This work will fascinate not only connoisseurs of the Loire Valley and its artistic heritage; it is, at the same time, a compreh...
