	Mantova, Italy - Travel Photos by Galen R Frysinger, Sheboygan, Wisconsin
		Among the notable buildings is the Doge's Palace (Palazzo Ducale), with frescoes by Andrea Mantegna, whose tomb is in Sant'Andrea, a basilica begun in the 15th century.
		Mannerist painting is characterized by the use of attenuated figures in exaggerated postures (plastically rendered, nevertheless); the unrealistic treatment of space, often for dramatic effect; and often a seemingly arbitrary choice of thin, discordant, often acid colors.
		One of the first applications of Mannerism to the decorative arts and to architecture is seen in the work of Giulio Romano at the Palazzo del Tè, Mantua (Mantova), Italy (begun 1525?).

	Review of the Palazzo Grassi 1994 exhibition of Renaissance architecture and the 1994 Alberti exhibition in Manuta, in ... (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Palazzo Grassi exhibitions are famous for their design.
		So arguements of heated intensity about their authorship and ordering, which often depend on the interpretation of a small flick of chalk or a faint compass incision, must still be followed on the basis of older publications.
		Michelangelo had to bring in quarrymen and tackle, cut roads through the cliffs, arrange for transport by oxen to the coast, tranship the blocks by custom-built cranes to chartered boats, tranship them again to barges on the Arno, then haul them by oxcart to the new stoneyard he was building in Florence.

		The specific character of the Palazzo del Te derives from the incongruous presence of the raw in the refined.
		The gap between the two also reveals a deepening divide in the ways in which nature was conceived by philosophers and artists, creating an ever-widening breach between observation and explanatory schemes, between intrinsic function and attributed meaning.
		If Giulio Romano’s Palazzo del Te could be considered, among other things, as a site of conflict between nature and artifice, Herzog and de Meuron’s Signal Box locates an enigma in our own understanding of nature and artifice, of control and fate.

		Most of his career was spent in Mantua, as court artist for Federico II Gonzaga, 5th Marchese and 1st Duke of Mantua (reg 1530–40).
		The Palazzo del Te, designed for Federico, is a tour de force of Mannerist architecture and decoration.
		Giulio’s Mantuan workshop was modelled on the organizational structure of Raphael’s; it did not, however, generate the sort of independent and highly skilled artist that Giulio himself exemplified.

		Muysken was particularly fascinated by the Italian renaissance and later the Dutch Renaissance.
		In Mantua he drew Palazzo Corte Reale (built between 1526 and 1534 by Giulio Romano, a pupil of Raphael) and Palazzo del Te by Palladio.
		An example of the latter is the typical palazzo courtyard surrounded by loggias (covered galleries) in the entrance hall of the castle.

	Palazzo del Te - Archiplanet
		"The greatest of all Mannerist villas was called a palace—the Palazzo del Te in Mantua—and, like the Villa Farnesina, it was a villa suburbana, close to the city and commingling aspects of both palace and villa architecture and function.
		It was built by Giulio Romano for Federigo Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua and son of Isabelle d'Este, one of the most cultivated and erudite of all Renaissance art patrons..."
		His strange, chimerical imagination was most dramatically unleashed in his illusionistic fresco paintings for the interior rooms of the Palazzo del Te, but the architecture, too, is filled with complicated and unexpected effects."

		And that the Palazzo Barberini's entry court owes a debt of inspiration to the loggia of the Villa Farnesina seems plausible at a purely formal level
		When the Villa was purchased by the Farnese later in the 16th century, the new owners, who had engaged Michelangelo for the completion of their urban palazzo immediately across the Tiber, solicited the artist/architect's advice on their acquisition.
		The learned Farnese, their advisors and the Caracci evolved a dense iconographic program for the palazzo's gallery frescoes identical to that of the facade of the villa Farnesina, thereby "bridging" allegorically what they could not physically.

		It was market day in Mantova and, once in town after visiting the Palazzo del Té, we literally had to elbow our way through the crowds in order to keep in touch with the group, the older people in our group being the most affected.
		But it all starts with a wonderful tour in the Palazzo del Té, home to spectacular and sophisticated fresco and stucco works of art, housed in an architectural masterpiece built by Giulio Romano, a student of Raphael, as a restful retreat for Federico II Gonzaga.
		Gigantism, opulence and eroticism are the themes throughout the Palazzo where, thankfully, photography is permitted and so I would not have to rely on memory or illustrated cards.
