Seller's Description:
Very good in very good dust jacket. Die Neuauflage dieses Klassikers enthält alle bekannten Bauten des italienischen Architekten Andrea Palladio (1508-1580), dem Hauptmeister der italienischen Baukunst des 16. Jahrhunderts. Sein stilistischer Einfluss erreichte seinerzeit alle europäischen Länder, von Skandinavien bis Frankreich und Osteuropa. Besonders gross war sein Einfluss auf die englische Architektur des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts. Im Übergang von der Hochrenaissance zum Barock setzte sein künstlerischer Beitrag wesentliche Akzente. Seine Architektur orientierte sich an Ordnungen und Formen der Antike und fügt in rationaler Weise geometrische Grundformen zu ausgeglichenen Kompositionen zusammen.
