Labyrinths: the art of the maze

Abstract

"This book was born from the particular fascination that labyrinths have held for Franco Maria Ricci over the years. Many of them are shown within this copiously illustrated reconnaissance through art, mythology and history in the form of shells, in floor mosaics or impressed on coins, and in miniature paintings or in architectural projects, as well as in gardens."--Jacket flap.
