King Charles III and architecture: his years as Prince of Wales / Clive Aslet. 520 8 $a "It is well known that, throughout history, kings and queens have built castles, palaces and even entire cities to showcase their power. Less consideration has been given, however, to monarchs whose interest in architecture was so close that they might actually be called architects.Recent research on Gustav Ill of Sweden (1746-92) has shown that he was in fact the architect of a number of important building projects and gardens. His relative George III of Great Britain (1760-1820) was also a knowledgeable and skilled architectural draftsman. In this richly illustrated anthology, leading international scholars study the engagement of these and other European monarchs and members of the nobility with architectural practice from the seventeenth century to the present day.Contributors: Clive Aslet, Basile Baudez, Julius Bryant, John Goodall, Elisabeth Kieven, Jarl Kremeier, Rebecca Lyons, Magnus Olausson, Emily Roy, Frank Salmon, Ian Thompson, Simon Thurley, David Watkin."-- $c Page 4 of cover. 650 0 $a Architecture, European. 650 0 $a Kings and rulers. 650 0 $a Art patronage $z Europe $x History. 650 0 $a Art patronage $x History. 650 0 $a Architecture $x History. 650 4 $a cultuurgeschiedenis 650 4 $a bouwkunst 650 4 $a architecten 650 4 $a vorsten 650 4 $a adel 650 4 $a mecenaat 650 6 $a Mecenat $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 $x Histoire. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 650 6 $a Architecture $x Histoire. $0 (CaQQLa)000273091 650 6 $a Rois et souverains. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0044266 650 6 $a Mecenat $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 $z Europe $0 (CaQQLa)201-0421387 $x Histoire. $0 (CaQQLa)201-0378888 650 7 $a Architecture. $2 fast 650 7 $a Art patronage. $2 fast 700 1 $a Aslet, Clive, $d 1955- $e editor. $4 edt 700 1 $a Salmon, Francis, $e editor. $4 edt 700 1 $a Arciszewska, Barbara, $d 1962- $e author. 700 1 $a Aslet, Clive, $d 1955- $e author. 700 1 $a Baudez, Basile, $d 1974- $e author. 700 1 $a Bryant, Julius, $e author. 700 1 $a Goodall, John, $d 1970- $e author. 700 1 $a Kieven, Elisabeth, $e author. 700 1 $a Kremeier, Jarl, $e author. 700 1 $a Lyons, Rebecca, $e author. 700 1 $a Olausson, Magnus, $d 1956- $e author. 700 1 $a Roy, Emily, $e author. 700 1 $a Salmon, Frank $q (Frank E.), $e author. 700 1 $a Thompson, Ian H., $d 1955- $e author. 700 1 $a Thurley, Simon, $d 1962- $e author. 700 1 $a Watkin, David, $d 1941-2018, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20240817010319.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=092652505C5E11EFA39121381FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
