Palladio

Front Cover
Penguin Books, 1966 - Architects - 200 pages
"Palladio is the most imitated architect in history. His buildings have been copied all over the Western world--from Leningrad to Philadelphia--and his ideas on proportion are still current nearly four-hundred years after his death. In this, the first full account of his career to be published in English, Professor James Ackerman investigates the reasons for his enormous and enduring success. He presents him in his historical setting as the contemporary Titian, Tintoretto, and Veronese, but is constantly alert to his relevance for us today."--Back cover
