Viac o knihe

This volume offers a thorough introduction to the architecture of Palladio, whose work includes both villas and town palaces and sacred buildings. It contains many large format colour photographs and only includes those works by Palladio which have been definitely attributed to him by research. "No other architect in the history of Western art has had as lasting an effect as Andrea Palladio. 'Palladianism' became an established style of architecture. This book provides an introduction to the complete works of this great 16th-century Italian architect. His palaces, villas and religious buildings are presented here in a collection of excellent photographs."
