Renaissance Architecture
thumb|Palladio's Villa Rotonda
The 1550s were filled with buildings from the Renaissance period. One example of this was Andrea Palladio Villa Rotonda. Although the building was complete in the 1590s, the design began in the 1550s. You can see the symmetry, proportion, and use of classical order. The building resides just outside of the city Vicenza in Italy. Palladio later published his pieces, Four Books of Architecture. While Palladio didn't have the sketches when construction began, he drew them up for the intended design of the completed building to include when published. Since his publishing, there has been many recreations of his sketches and even buildings around the world. Giovanni Dominico Giaconi later redid his sketches in watercolor.García-Salgado Tomás 2008-10-01 A Perspective Analysis of the Proportions of Palladio’s Villa Rotonda: Making the Invisible Visible https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00004-007-0069-3 Nexus Network Journal en 10 2 269–282 10.1007/s00004-007-0069-3 1522-4600
Influences to Architecture
One many specifically sticks out, as an influence to High Renaissance and the Mannerism period is Michelangelo. He created pieces of art that inspired architects of his time to expand their horizon out of their comfort zone. This brought out a whole new decorative side to the classical architecture as seen before.
Sebastiano Serlio wrote his Seven Books on Architecture that would impact the entire architecture community from then on. The six books consisted of advice to future architects of and surveyed buildings. The seventh and eighth volumes were added at later dates following the rage of the original six.Cartwright Mark Sebastiano Serlio https://www.worldhistory.org/Sebastiano_Serlio/ 2024-12-14 World History Encyclopedia en
