Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Andre Palladio: His Life and Works is a biography written by author Banister Fletcher. The book explores the life of the famous Italian architect and the work of the man considered one of the most influential in the history of Western architecture. The book begins with a short biography of Palladio that traces his life from his birth in 1508, to his work as a stonecutter that so influenced his architecture, to his tutelage under poet and scholar Gian Giorgio Trissino. The biography is brief but provides the reader with all of the fundamental points of Andrea's life and the bulk of this work is devoted to an examination of Palladio's architecture. Fletcher divides the architect's work into four categories: town houses, country houses, public buildings, and churches. Within each section, individual buildings are profiled, including the location, inspiration, and major architectural features of each work with many of the profiles accompanied by an illustration. The book concludes with an examination of some of Palladio's written work, as well as a chapter on Palladio's historical significance. Fletcher's profile of Palladio is appropriate for both those familiar with the architect's work and those to whom this is their first introduction to the man. While the architectural details provided are at times technical, the layman should still be able to interpret the general principles of each design. Palladio's work is so influential that even those unaccustomed to analysing architectural designs will recognize some of his iconic work. As a profile of a great artist, Banister Fletcher's book is a success. Andre Palladio: His Life and Works is both a worthy introduction to the man, as well as a detailed examination of the architect's work. Those interested in architecture, particularly in the works of the forefathers of the art, will find this to be a fascinating read.

Book excerpt: Andrea Palladio (1508-1589) was one of the most creative architects the world has ever known; many consider his villas, palaces, and churches the epitome of Renaissance ideals. Though his buildings have often been photographed and numerous specialized studies have been written about his career, never before have Palladio's life and times been brought together in a narrative as incisive as this one. Richly illustrated with specially commissioned photographs as well as period plans and drawings, this volume defines Palladio's remarkable career against the backdrop of the dramatic events and personalities of the age, while the buildings are discussed in terms of their importance in art history.

Download or read book Palladio written by James Ackerman and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 1991-07-25 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Palladio (1508-80) combined classical restraint with constant inventiveness. In this study, Professor Ackerman sets Palladio in the context of his age - the Humanist era of Michelangelo and Raphael, Titian and Veronese - and examines each of the villas, churches and palaces in turn and tries to penetrate to the heart of the Palladian miracle. Palladio's theoretical writings are important and illuminating, he suggests, yet they never do justice to the intense intuitive skills of "a magician of light and colour". Indeed, as the photographs in this book reveal, Palladio was "as sensual, as skilled in visual alchemy as any Venetian painter of his time", and his countless imitators have usually captured the details, but not the essence of his style. There are buildings all the way from Philadelphia to Leningrad which bear witness to Palladio's "permanent place in the making of architecture", yet he also deserves to be seen on his own terms.
