See also:PALLADIO, See also:ANDREA (1518-1580) , See also:Italian architect, was See also:born in See also:Vicenza on the 3oth of See also:November 1518. The See also:works of See also:Vitruvius and See also:Alberti were studied by him at an See also:early See also:period, and his student See also:life was spent in See also:Rome, where he was taken by
his See also:patron See also:Count Trissino. In 1547 he returned to Vicenza, where he designed a very large number of See also:fine buildings—among the See also:chief being the Palazzo della Ragione, with two storeys of open arcades of the Tuscan and Ionic orders, and the Barbarano, Porti and Chieregati palaces. Most of these buildings look better on See also:paper than in reality, as they are mainly built of See also:brick, covered with See also:stucco, now in a very dilapidated See also:condition; but this does not affect the merit of their See also:design, as Palladio intended them to have been executed in See also:- STONE

His last See also:great See also:work was the Teatro Olimpico at Vicenza, which was finished, though not altogether after the See also:original design, by his See also:- PUPIL (Lat. pupillus, orphan, minor, dim. of pupus, boy, allied to puer, from root pm- or peu-, to beget, cf.

In addition to his See also:town buildings Palladio designed many See also:country villas in various parts of See also:northern See also:Italy. The See also:villa of Capra is perhaps the finest of these, and has frequently been imitated. Palladio was .a great student of classical literature, and published in 1595 an edition of See also:Caesar's Commentaries with notes. His I quattro libri dell' architectura, first published at Venice in 1570, has passed into countless See also:editions, and been translated into every See also:European See also:language. The original edition is a small See also:folio, richly illustrated with well-executed full-See also:page woodcuts of plans, elevations, and details of buildings—chiefly either See also:ancient See also:Roman temples or else palaces designed and built by himself. Among many others, an edition with notes was published in See also:England by Inigo See also:- JONES

Jones, most of whose works; and especially the See also:palace of See also:Whitehall, of which only the banqueting See also:room remains, owed much to Palladio's See also:inspiration.

time had fallen. He was fascinated by the stateliness and See also:pro-portion of the buildings of ancient Rome, and did not reflect that reproductions of these, however great their archaeological accuracy, could not but be lifeless and unsuited to the wants of the 16th See also:century. Palladio's carefully measured drawings of ancient buildings are now of great value, as in many cases the buildings have altogether or in See also:part ceased to exist.
