In this 216-page paperback, Robert Tavernor traces the influence of Andrea Palladio upon later architects, amongst whom notable examples include Inigo Jones and Sir Christopher Wren in the United Kingdom and Thomas Jefferson on the other side of the Atlantic.
Palladianism is about more than just
architectural designs - it is the expression of a philosophy and a
way of life.
This book, probably the most erudite
and accurate work that exists on this topic, introduces the reader
to Venice and Palladio's magnificent palaces and villas there.
