La place est, par excellence, le centre de la cité, l'endroit d'élection des rassemblements. Chacune de ces places possède son âme, son esprit propre, à partir desquels elle s'est constituée au cours des années - ou plutôt des siècles -, le plus souvent en fonction d'exigences élémentaires. Le temps l'a redessinée, perfectionnée, organisée selon des inspirations qui reflètent toujours la tendance à l'harmonie, tantôt poétique, tantôt rationnelle, inhérente à l'esprit humain, cette tendance qui le pousse à transformer, à sublimer les peines et les difficultés quotidiennes. Une beauté singulière semble ainsi jaillir tout particulièrement lorsque l'inventivité est parvenue à métamorphoser les endroits les plus " difficiles " - étroits, escarpés, asymétriques, accidentés. Il suffit d'évoquer la place de Massa Marittima, la Grand-Place d'Arezzo, la place della Cisterna de San Gimignano, la piazza del Vicario à Certaldo mais aussi, et surtout, le Campo et la place du Marché de Sienne, ces lieux modelés, façonnés par une imagination dans laquelle l'empirisme s'ajoute à l'intuition et à un goût qu'il faut apprécier jusque dans ses moindres nuances. La place fait partie du patrimoine d'une ville et c'est à ce titre que ce livre lui rend hommage, livrant au regard du lecteur le souvenir du cœur des cités toscanes tant aimées.

Volume 1 of 2. Lorenzo Ghiberti, sculptor and towering figure of the Renaissance, was the creator of the celebrated Bronze Doors of the Baptistery at Florence, a work that occupied him for twenty years and became known (at Michelangelo's suggestion, according to tradition) as the Doors of Paradise. Here Richard Krautheimer takes what Charles S. Seymour, Jr., describes as "a fascinating journey into the mind, career, and inventiveness of one of the indisputably outstanding sculptors of all the Western tradition." This one-volume edition includes an extensive new preface and bibliography by the author.Richard Krautheimer, Professor Emeritus of the Institute of Fine Arts at New York University, currently lives in Rome. He is the author of numerous works, including the Pelican Early Christian and Byzantine Architecture and Rome: Profile of a City, 312-1308 (Princeton).Princeton Monographs in Art and Archaeology, 31.Originally published in 1983.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
