Architect and engraver Paul Letarouilly dedicated more than 30
years of his life to creating the most complete collection of
plans, elevations, and details of the buildings and monuments of
Renaissance Rome. This student's edition of his achievement
features highlights from five massive volumes, originally published
between 1825 and 1882. Its systematic overview illustrates the
principles of design behind the works of Michelangelo, Sangallo,
Peruzzi, Vignola, Bramante, Bernini, Fontana, dalla Porta, Maderno,
Borromini, and other great builders of the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries.
Letarouilly's engravings, which illustrate the translation of the
principles behind classical architecture into the new age of the
Renaissance, served as a major source of inspiration from the
moment of their publication, and they remain standard references to
this day. This edition includes informative text by classical
architect and scholar John Barrington Bayley that offers insights
into the architecture of Rome's palaces, villas, and squares as
well as St. Peter's and the Vatican. Ideal for students of
classical, Renaissance, and Roman architecture, this affordable
volume also constitutes a useful guide for visitors to Rome.
