OverviewThe dazzling palatial mansion of circus tycoon John Ringling in Sarasota, Florida, is a tribute to the American Dream and reflects the splendour and romance of Italy. Described as 'the last of the Gilded Age mansions' to be built in America, Cà d'Zan has 56 incredible rooms filled with art and original furnishings. With its Venetian Gothic architecture, the mansion is a combination of the grandeur of Venice's Doge's Palace combined with the Gothic grace of Cà d'Oro, with Sarasota Bay serving as its Grand Canal. Today, this amazing house is open to the public as part of the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota. This book is the first of a series of five Art Spaces books coming from the Ringling Museum, which will also include books on the Circus Museum, The Circus Rail Car, The Museum of Art and the Museum's extensive gardens. 73 colour illustrations Full Product DetailsAuthor: Scala PublishersPublisher: Scala Publishers Ltd Imprint: Scala Publishers Ltd ISBN: 9781857596427ISBN 10: 1857596420 Pages: 64 Publication Date: 01 December 2010 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Out of Stock Indefinitely Availability: Awaiting stock Table of ContentsAlso Available in the 'Art Spaces' series: 'New Museum of Contemporary Art' ISBN: 9781857596311 'Los Angeles County Museum of Art' ISBN: 9781857594812 'National Building Museum' ISBN: 9781857595093ReviewsAuthor InformationTab Content 6Author Website:Countries AvailableAll regions |
