Christoph Ulmer - Palladio eterno - 2013

The life and works of the great architect between the Renaissance, Mannerism, and Baroque, from apprenticeship to maturity and fame. The in-depth study of the "beautiful façade" and the villa–garden relationship. All the buildings realized by the supreme architect and a concluding section dedicated to his legacy: the construction of churches after his teachings, Baroque secular architecture, the Venetian style, and Neopalladianism. The drawings from the Four Books of Architecture and the 1:1 scale engravings by Ottavio Bertotti Scamozzi, the corpus of plans, sections and elevations that sometimes include measurements of details such as cornices or the bases of columns, and which by the end of the eighteenth century allowed a detailed understanding of Palladio’s work. Limited edition of only 1999 copies.
