Sobre este artículo
London: Royal Collections Publications, 2004. Hardcover. VG (Ex-art library, with spine label, i.d. marks on book block edges and outermost pages; otherwise crisp and clean.). Red cloth, gilt letters on spine, light green and illus. dust jacket in mylar cover; 224 pp., color and BW illus. "George III was an ambitious patron of both the sciences and the arts. In this ground-breaking new survey David Watkin looks closely at the King's contribution to the area that interested him most deeply -- architectural design. George III's lifelong involvement in building and landscaping is placed in the context of his keen support for manufacturing, the scientific revolution and agricultural innovation, all of which were characteristic concerns of the Age of Improvement. Furthermore, taking into account the latest research into the role of the court in the political and cultural life of Europe before the French Revolution, Professor Watkin looks afresh at the significance of the King's position within the Holy Roman Empire."
