John Barrington Bayley was an architect and preservationist born in 1914 in Berkeley, CA and died in 1981 in Newport, RI. After serving in WWII, he attended the American Academy in Rome where his life-long dedication to Classical architecture bloomed. From 1947-1950, he traveled widely throughout Italy and other European countries, documenting Renaissance. Neoclassical, and Antique architecture in black and white photographs. Often devoid of people, his photographs–at once eerie and stunning–animate Classical and Neoclassical architecture, interiors, furniture, and sculpture as personages in their own right. Bayley returned to the United States with an estimated 10,000 photographs, of which this collection is but a sample. Many were published in various books and periodicals, including his own Classical America. This collection is exclusively image-based.
