A revelatory account of the complex and evolving relationship of
Renaissance architects to classical antiquity Focusing on the work
of architects such as Brunelleschi, Bramante, Raphael, and
Michelangelo, this extensively illustrated volume explores how the
understanding of the antique changed over the course of the
Renaissance. David Hemsoll reveals the ways in which significant
differences in imitative strategy distinguished the period's
leading architects from each other and argues for a more nuanced
understanding of the widely accepted trope-first articulated by
Giorgio Vasari in the 16th century-that Renaissance architecture
evolved through a linear step-by-step assimilation of antiquity.
Offering an in-depth examination of the complex, sometimes
contradictory, and often contentious ways that Renaissance
architects approached the antique, this meticulously researched
study brings to life a cacophony of voices and opinions that have
been lost in the simplified Vasarian narrative and presents a fresh
and comprehensive account of Renaissance architecture in both
Florence and Rome.
