From Library Journal\nThe neoclassical style in art and architecture, inspired by the excavations of Herculaneum and Pompeii, spread across Europe during the mid-18th and early 19th centuries. Clifton-Mogg chronicles its development, particularly in England and France. Though a timeline tracking this movement would have been helpful, the book's organization into sections on architecture (public and domestic), furniture, interiors, and more. will facilitate its use in each phase of decorating, and the photographs will give both amateur and professional designers the inspiration to create decorating schemes to correspond with postmodernism's current revival of classically inspired architecture and interiors. Recommended for both general readers and specialists in the field.
