Palatiorum Romanorum à celeberrimis sui aevi architectis erectorum pars prima[-tertia]

Sandrart, Johann Jakob von, 1655-1698 · 1694 · Norimbergae : Sumptibus Ioh. Iacobi de Sandrart · 33 pictures

A 1694 Nuremberg engraved architectural survey of Roman palaces, compiled by Johann Jakob von Sandrart from the work of leading architects of his era, with Palladio among its subjects. The pictures are measured elevations of palace facades, drawn in flat black line with no shading, showing tiers of windows, pilasters, cornices and rusticated stone. A designer could take from them the strict proportional rhythm of window bays, aedicule surrounds and banded masonry that underpins classical facade layouts.
