Since antiquity through to the present, architecture and the pictorial arts have not been rigidly separated but interrelated - the one informing the other, and establishing patterns of creation and reception. In the classical tradition the education of the architect and artist has always stressed this relationship between the arts, although modern scholarship has too often treated them as separate disciplines. Representing a variety of methods, these two volumes explore the history of this exchange between the arts as it emerged from classical theory into artistic and architectural practice.
