The seventeenth century in the Low Countries was anything but a controlled environment. Many were the harbingers of revolution. The Netherlanders of the north fought for and won their freedom from Catholic Spain, and subsequently became the global hub of commerce. The predominantly Protestant republic freed from noble rule and now dominated by a merchant class was obsessively interested in paintings. Next door Flanders, for centuries northern Europe’s heartland of high aesthetics, elected to not part ways with Spain and yet continued its aesthetic traditions. A collecting craze spread fr

[A] new people appeared on the scene, bringing with them the elements of a high culture and a knowledge of working in metals. These were the Pharaonic Egyptians, who seem to have come from Babylonia and the coasts of southern Arabia. Cities were built and kingdoms were founded on the banks of the Nile, and the Early Israel and the surrounding .population was forced to become the serfs of the new-comers, to cultivate their fields, to confine the Nile within artificial boundaries, and to carry out those engineering works which have made the valley of the Nile what it is to-day. -from "Chapter V

What "really constitutes an architectural atmosphere, Peter Zumthor says, is "this singular density and mood, this feeling of presence, well-being, harmony, beauty ... under whose spell I experience what I otherwise would not experience in precisely this way. Zumthor s passion is the creation of buildings that produce this kind of effect, but how can one actually set out to achieve it? In nine short, illustrated chapters framed as a process of self-observation, Peter Zumthor describes what he has on his mind as he sets about creating the atmosphere of his houses. Images of spaces and buildings

The classic account of Egypt’s most famous queen—now fully revised For over a decade, Nefertiti, wife of the heretic king Akhenaten, was the most influential woman in the Bronze Age world: a beautiful queen blessed by the sun god, adored by her family, and worshipped by her people. Her image and her name were celebrated throughout Egypt and her future seemed golden. Suddenly Nefertiti disappeared from the royal family, vanishing so completely that it was as if she had never been. No record survives to detail her death, no monument serves to mourn her passing, and to this day her end remai
