Nikolaus Pevsner: Citáty anglicky

“Pevsner was very much the German bourgeois Jew - a certain amount of austerity and not a lot of giggles.”

Susie Harries, "Nikolaus Pevsner: The Life" (2011), page 663
About

“The great importance of Wilbury House lies less in its appearance now than in its appearance as it was first built and illustrated in Vitruvius Britannicus.”

It was designed by and built for William Benson in 1710. He is notorious for having been made Wren’s successor in 1718, when George I dismissed Wren as a Tory and an old man, and for having failed so completely that he himself was replaced only one year later. But he is memorable as the designer of the first, not Neo-Palladian, but neo-Inigo-Jones house in England. For this is what Wilbury was, as Sir John Summerson was the first to point out. The house then had a four-column Corinthian portico of tall columns set well away from the wall.
