R$ 230,90

Sinopse

A quick perusal illustrates the fact that Indian palaces are most often vast complexes of enormous dimensions. And although ruins outnumber well-maintained structures, Michell animates all the many stunning examples of Hindu and Muslim fortresses and royal residences portrayed in the illuminating photographs. An insightful text offers an overview of India's history as it is revealed through descriptions of various architectural styles and how they developed. Among the book's incredible images are interior details of spectacular carvings, mirror-work patterns, murals, and tile work, and facades are aglow with saturated red sandstone, colored friezes, and copper-wrapped domes punctuating the blue skies surrounding them.
