Serlio, Sebastiano, 1475-1554 · 1616 · t' Amsterdam : By Hendrick Laurensz. ... · 38 pictures

A 1616 Dutch edition of Sebastiano Serlio's architectural treatise, published in Amsterdam by Hendrick Laurensz., setting out classical building types and orders for builders and students of architecture. Its woodcut plates show triumphal arches, a portal with columns and rustication, and a pedimented temple with a diagonal construction grid, drawn in clean outline with minimal shading that suggests simple linework for architectural diagrams and classical ornament.
