THE VILLA: FROM ANCIENT TO MODERN

The essence of 18 spectacular villas, or large country homes, from all over Europe and the United States is captured in the lush photographs and drawings in this beautiful book. Examples range from Hadrian's Villa in ancient Rome to Versailles in France, Thomas Jefferson's Monticello in Virginia, and modern villas by Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, and Frank Lloyd Wright, right through to contemporary houses by Gwathmey Siegel in East Hampton, New York, and by Richard Meier in Naples, Florida.
