2 comments about Views of Rome.
- Views of Rome is a unique guide to the most significant sites of ancient, Christian, and modern Roman architecture. Steven Brooke produced the work--the first collection of its kind in over one hundred years--during his tenure as a fellow of the American Academy in Rome. For this book, he has written detailed captions that provide the history, location, and, often, directions to each site.
- "Views of Rome" was a huge disappointment. Thankfully, I didn't drop $50 on the hardcover version.
The book is barely usable, either as a preview of the architecture of the Eternal City or as a remembrance of a visit. The book is comprised of terrible unimaginative black-and-white images of many of Rome's most famous architectural wonders. The photos are composed well enough, but are basically straight-on shots with no attempt to communicate the personality of the buildings or their grandeur. The photographer must have taken all his photos early in the morning, because there is not a single person in the shots to provide perspective.
The synopsis of Roman history that starts the book is actually fairly interesting -- certainly more so than the dull photography that follows.
