Rome

"Katerina Wilczynski was awarded the Prix de Roma in 1930, and remained in Rome until just before the war. She was commissioned during her stay to draw and paint many ancient buildings, where demolition was required by replanning of the city. The reproductions in this book are a selection of Miss Wilczynski's drawings, which are her impressions of these famous buildings. The sensitive and beautiful lines convey, without being photographic, the strength and intricacies of Roman Architecture."--Jacket.
