Renaissance Paris: Architecture and Growth, 1475-1600

In the modern literature on Renaissance art and architecture, Paris has often been considered the Cinderella of the European capitals. The prestigious buildings that were erected soon after FranÇois I decided in 1528 to make Paris his residence have long since been lost. Thomson, however, restores this fascinating chapter of architectural history in his careful synthesis of documentary and technical sources.David Thomson is the author of 'Renaissance Paris: Architecture and Growth, 1475-1600', published 1985 under ISBN 9780520053595 and ISBN 0520053591.
