Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the complete collection of Andrea Palladio's architectural works, including the four books of his seminal treatise on civil architecture. Palladio, a 16th-century Italian architect, is considered one of the most influential figures in Western architecture. His work has inspired generations of architects and continues to be studied today for its clarity, proportion, and beauty. This particular edition is significant because it includes not only Palladio's published works but also a wealth of unpublished material, including plans, sketches, and annotations. These materials provide new insights into Palladio's creative process and the development of his ideas. The book is also notable for its meticulous scholarship and attention to detail. The editors have carefully examined Palladio's original drawings and compared them to the buildings that were constructed from them. This has allowed them to correct errors in previous editions of Palladio's work and to provide a more accurate and comprehensive understanding of his architecture. Overall, this book is an essential resource for anyone interested in architecture, art history, or the Italian Renaissance. It is a beautifully produced volume that will be treasured by scholars and general readers alike.
