St. Bartholomew's, the grand Episcopal church located on Park Avenue at 50th Street, is one of New York's most distinctive buildings--"a jewel in a monumental setting," as Christine Smith calls it. In this book, beautifully illustrated with 16 photographs--including 28 stunning color plates by the Italian photographer Reffaello Bencini--Smith examines the history of the parish, the checkered history of the church's construction, the background and ideas of the architect, Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue, and the various elements of its design and decoration, including a discussion of its historical sources. Goodhue based the structure on San Marco, the 11th-century Venetian church, and incorporated elelments of both Romanesque and Gothic architecture. Among the many outstanding features it now includes are beautiful mosaics by Hildreth Meiere and the Stanford White portal dedicated to Cornelius Vanderbilt--all splendidly captured in the accompanying photographs.
