EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts a 16th-century edition of "I dieci libri dell'architettura di M. Vitruvio," or "The Ten Books on Architecture by Marcus Vitruvius Pollio." The work, translated and annotated by Daniele Barbaro, was published in Venice in 1556. The trio of scholars, Vitruvius, Palladio, and Barbaro, are considered pioneers in the field of classical architecture. Vitruvius, a Roman architect and engineer, authored the original text in the first century BC. His work, which is considered one of the most important texts on the subject, was lost to the Western world until rediscovered in the 15th century. Andrea Palladio, a renowned Venetian architect, played a significant role in the revival of ancient Roman architectural principles. He is known for his elegant designs, which combined classical forms with contemporary innovation. Daniele Barbaro, a Venetian scholar and future patriarch of Aquileia, was responsible for the translation and commentary on Vitruvius' work. The edition featured here includes woodcut illustrations by Giuseppe Porta, also known as Giuseppe Salviati or Il Salvi. The print showcases various architectural features, including columns, pillars, doors, and decorative elements. These designs were influential in shaping the architectural landscape of Europe and beyond. The work was a valuable resource for architects, builders, and scholars, and its impact can still be seen in contemporary architecture. This print is a testament to the enduring influence of ancient Roman architecture and the scholars who brought it back to life. It is a prized addition to any art or architecture collection and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire us today.
