Synopsis
"Palladio is the most imitated architect in history. His buildings have been copied all over the Western world - from Leningard to Philadelphia - and his ideas on proportion are still current nearly four hundred years after his death. In this, first full account of his career to be published in English, Professor James Ackerman investigates the reasons for his enormous and enduring success. He presents him in his historical setting as the contemporary of Titian, Tintoretto, and Veronese, but is constantly alert of his relevance for us today" - Publisher.Book Details
