THE PERFECT HOUSE: ANDREA PALLADIO’S VENETIAN VILLAS
Andrea Palladio’s villas are his most celebrated accomplishment because of their beauty, practicality and, in cases such as the Villa Rotunda, its iconic image. The villas were also known through the woodcuts that illustrated Palladio’s treatise The Four Books of Architecture (1570), which meant that they were copied and imitated in Britain and America. This talk examines why his villas have such enduring appeal.
