EDITORS COMMENTS
This frontispiece print, titled "Frontispiece to The Architecture of A. Palladio, in Four Books" takes us on a visual journey through the world of Palladian architecture. Created by Italian artist Sebastiano Ricci and engraved by Bernard Picart in 1715, this exquisite piece showcases the genius of Andrea Palladio's architectural designs. The central focus of the composition is a divine bust representing Palladio himself, surrounded by heavenly angels and cherubs. Their delicate forms beautifully complement the intricate details found within Palladio's renowned structures. Giacomo Leoni, an influential Italian architect who championed Palladianism in English architecture, published this edition as the first complete English language version of "I Quattro Libri dell'Architettura" (The Four Books of Architecture). Through this print, we are transported into a realm where art and sculpture intertwine with architectural mastery. The celestial beings that grace the scene add an ethereal touch to an already awe-inspiring display. This remarkable artwork serves as a testament to both Andrea Palladio's enduring legacy and Giacomo Leoni's dedication to spreading his influence across borders. It invites us to appreciate not only the physical beauty captured within these pages but also the profound impact that these architectural principles have had on generations past and present. Displayed proudly in private collections worldwide, this print stands as a timeless tribute to one of history's most celebrated architects and offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in the splendor of classical
