A stunningly illustrated look at a strikingly diverse tradition, Biedermeier to Bauhaus is the only book availableâ€”in English or Germanâ€”on its subject. From the Renaissance to the early 20th century, curator Sigrid Sangl traces the complex but characteristic interior design styles found throughout Germany, literally opening the doors to a variety of exceptional interiors.
Most of the featured residencesâ€”townhouses, royal palaces, artistsâ€™ studios, and rural retreatsâ€”have never before been photographed. Barbara and RenÃ© Stoeltieâ€™s sumptuous full-color images, many specially commissioned for this book, convey both the grand scale and the distinguishing details of each style: 16th-century wood-paneled parlors with furniture in matching inlaid patterns; elaborate Baroque wall paintings inspired by exotic plant forms; sturdy, stalwart Biedermeier tables and chairs; the sinuous, ornamental curves of Jugendstil; and the simple, streamlined functionalism of the Bauhaus. Reaching from the Baltic to the Alps, Biedermeier to Bauhaus includes maps and a list of places to visit.
