Architecture in early modern Italy

"During the course of the fifteenth century, many prominent patrons of architecture in Italy sought to identify themselves with ancient Romans. Their exploration of antique models and sources was undertaken in partnership with architects and humanists and had a profound impact on the design, construction and refurbishment of city palaces. In this study, Georgia Clarke examines the impact of scholars' and architects' investigations of ancient texts and their understanding of the physical remains of ancient Italy. Theories of variety, magnificence, and imitation, based on classical writings, were essential to this enterprise and found concrete expression in built architecture. Clarke's close analysis of ancient and Renaissance texts, architects' drawings, and examples of palace buildings across Italy demonstrates how these different elements are fundamental to our understanding of both Renaissance architecture and its cultural context."--Jacket.
