  Sebastiano Serlio - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Born in Bologna, Serlio went to Rome in 1514, and worked in the atelier of Baldassare Peruzzi, where he stayed until the Sack of Rome in 1527 put all architectural projects on hold for a time.
Serlio' model of church façade was a regularized version, cleaned up and made more classical, of the innovative method of providing a facade to a church with a high vaulted nave flanked by low side aisles, a classical face to a Gothic form, first seen in Alberti's Santa Maria Novella in Florence (c.
Serlio's publications, rather than any spectacular executed work, attracted the attention of Francois I. Serlio's career took off when he was invited to France by Francis I, to advise on the construction and decoration of the Château of Fontainebleau, where a team of Italian designers and craftsmen were assembled.

Sebastiano Serlio (Bologna 1475 — Fontainebleau ca 1554), the Italian Mannerist architect, was part of the Italian team building Fontainebleau.
A measure of the influence that Serlio exerted through the examples in his treatise can be taken by the church facade (illustration, right) in the first published volume.
Serlio's plans and elevations of many Roman buildings, provided such a useful repertory of classical images that it was reprinted in 1563 and in 1572.

Here, Serlio provides the first extensive treatment of theatre written since Vitruvius but significantly locates it in his second book, devoted to the construction of two-dimensional perspectives.
Serlio’s three scenes impose a social hierarchy upon the dramatic genres: the comedic set includes residences of «personaggi privati, come saria di cittadini, avocati, mercanti, parasiti, and altre simili persone»; the tragic features «le case di grandi personaggi...
Though Serlio illustrates the plan and section of a theatre hall and stage, his placement of this discourse in a chapter on two-dimensional representation shows that he conceived of the modern theatre primarily as a pictorial affair.

This paper analyses both Serlio's constructions and some of the many possible alternatives and evaluates their accuracy in terms of the ovals approximations to an ellipse.
Serlio's constructions and some of the many possible alternatives were analysed and their accuracy evaluated in terms of the ovals' approximations to an ellipse.
We found that Serlio's constructions do reasonably well, but are certainly not the closest to the ellipse (although of course this may not reflect their aesthetic qualities).

 Biography of Sebastiano Serlio at Lyons Limited Antique Prints
Sebastiano Serlio, a mannerist architect, along with Palladio and Vignola, was one of the foremst leaders in the development of Renaissance architecture.
Part of a team of Italian architects, he was instrumental in the design of the palace of Fontainebleau in France as well as major Italian structures.
Serlio's contribution, however, was noteworthy because of the use of vanishing point perspective which gave a third dimention to the designs.

Serlio (1475-1554), an exact contemporary of Michelangelo, was also the first to publish an original, illustrated architectural treatise in Italian.
Serlio focuses strictly on the external appearance of architecture, ignoring material substance; for this he has received too little credit, as later architectural historians have mistakenly assigned this innovative approach to Peruzzi.
The influence of Serlio's writings on Renaissance and subsequent architects cannot be overestimated (there was a copy of the folio edition in Jefferson's library - see Kimball, p.

 Geometric Methods of the 1500s for Laying Out the Ionic Volute by Denise Andrey and Mirko Galli in the Nexus Network ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
ebastiano Serlio published Book IV of his architectural treatise in 1537.[12] The Serlian method takes the ratios indicated by Vitruvius, then distinguishes six points (the centers where the compass is placed) dividing the vertical diameter of the eye into six equal parts and numbering the points alternating between upper and lower, beginning with the uppermost.
Instead, Salviati and Serlio were not searching for a method for approximating spirals, but only for a way of laying out a drawing that would mediate between what academic studies of Vitruvius and direct studies of the ancient monuments brought to light.
Geometrically speaking, Salviati and Serlio are interesting above all for the determination of the centers of the circular arcs (a problem derived from Vitruvius) that constitute the curve.

The architectural treatises of Sebastiano Serlio exerted immense influence throughout Europe in the early 16th century.
Serlio’s sets are constructed in function of this point, at which parallel lines drawn in perspective converge.
Whereas previous designers emphasized a central vista, discovered by Sebastiano Serlio, Bibiena characteristically placed buildings, walls, statues or courtyards at the centre of the picture and relegated vistas to the sides.

It traces the overall evolution of Serlio's production in relation to his time, commencing with a detailed analysis of the chateau of Ancy-le-Franc, in which the two fundamental components of his formal language are already apparent: his Italian training in the classical manner and the profound influence of the French emphasis on decoration.
This book reconstructs the specific features and overall evolution of Serlio's career, one in which his activity as a designer and builder played a much greater role than was previously thought.

 Sebastiano Serlio: Rustic Gate (24.45.3.17) | Object Page | Timeline of Art History | The Metropolitan Museum of Art   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
His model for a dramatic rustic gate is quite unusual in that it breaks all the rules of classical architecture, including the order of columns and principles of decoration.
Inspired by the often eccentric designs of contemporary Mannerist architecture, Serlio combined rough elements with the more traditional treatment of the Doric order to stress the difference between nature and artifice.
Entirely appropriate to the entry of a villa-park, his gate is designed in a heavy rustic manner with a touch of brutishness, which Serlio called bestiale, underlined by the bulls' heads set in the cornerstones of the archway.

 Item 57
The Italian architect Sebastiano Serlio planned to issue seven books on architecture, among the first illustrated manuals of their kind to be printed in Europe.
It passed through various private owners–some debated and some clearly known (the Bird family of Cheshire, England, in the eighteenth century, and Dr. David Laing of Edinburgh in the nineteenth)–before arriving at Avery, on deposit, in 1920.
Serlio probably began work on the book, a series of designs for houses both modest and regal, after arriving at the court of François I at Fontainebleau.

Serlio (born in Bologna in 1480 and died in Fontainebleau around 1544) is the author of one yhe architectural treaties most referred to in our modern times.
None of its projects for the "Domaine Bellifontain" or the Louvre were retained by the King; but with the Grand Ferrare Palace, residence of Cardinal Ippolito d'Este in Fontainebleau and the chateau of Ancy-le-Franc (both started in 1542), Serlio initiated a complete transformation of the architectural language in France.

 Cremona - Una mostra di architettura per analizzare i rapporti tra i Dattaro, Serlio e Du Creceau - Europaconcorsi   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
E' il percorso della mostra curata dallo studioso cremonese Alberto Faliva sui rapporti tra gli architetti Serlio, Du Cerceau e i Dattaro che si inaugura sabato prossimo alle 18 nel Centro culturale San Vitale e che sarà aperta al pubblico da domenica 9 a venerdì 28 ottobre.
L'opera, realizzata a partire dalla seconda metà del XVI secolo da Francesco Dattaro, trae ispirazione da studi di Sebastiano Serlio.
E' interessante notare che molti altri edifici coevi a questa chiesa, ma concepiti da Dattaro nella prima metà del Cinquecento, risultano debitori delle invenzioni che Serlio propone nella metà del secolo, quando si trova in Francia sotto la protezione di Margherita di Navarra, sorella di Francesco I re di Francia.
