Palazzi di Genoua
Palazzi di Genoua is a folio of architectural plates by Peter Paul Rubens, published in Antwerp around 1622, documenting the palaces of Genoa for an audience of architects and patrons. The pictures are measured ground-floor plans in black line on cream paper, with room layouts, stairs, courtyards and column bays labelled by letter, giving a designer a clear model for symmetrical planning and grid-based floor layouts.
