Architecture of the Old Netherlands: Bogdanova, Kaptikov

In the new book of the Yekaterinburg historian of architecture, Henri Kaptikov, the architecture of the old Netherlands is examined in detail. The Netherlands are not only the official name of the modern state of Holland, but also a much wider historical concept. Once the territory of the Netherlands included the present Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg and even the adjacent parts of France. If old -native painting is widely known in our country, this cannot be said about architecture. On an extensive historical and cultural background, temples and various original local types of civil buildings are described: shopping rows and beffrois, the building of urban weights, town halls, guild houses, etc. This publication will be useful to students in the plan of in -depth study of the history of architecture. It may be of value to art historians and all those interested in the artistic heritage of the Netherlands.
