	Vitruvius - LoveToKnow 1911 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Throughout the period of the classical revival Vitruvius was the chief authority studied by architects, and in every point his precepts were accepted as final.
		Bramante, Michelangelo, Palladio, Vignola and earlier architects were careful students of the work of Vitruvius, which through them has largely influenced the architecture of almost all European countries.
		The previously almost universal opinion that it was decastyle had led to the needless theory that the passage containing this statement was corrupt.

		In the empirical vein, it was not a treatise but basically a catalogue of design, containing engravings of English buildings by Inigo Jones and Sir Christopher Wren, as well as Campbell himself and other prominent architects of the era.
		The somewhat promotional volume, with its excellently rendered engravings, came at a propitious moment at the beginning of a boom in country house and villa building among the Whig oligarchy.

	Palladian Architecture
		Palladianism is, loosely, a philosophy of design based on the writings and work of Andreas Palladio, an Italian architect of the 16th century who tried to recreate the style and proportions of the buildings of ancient Rome.
		Palladio himself was heavily influenced by the writings of the Roman architect, Vitruvius.
		Volumes such as Colen Campbell's Vitruvius Britannicus and William Kent's Designs of Inigo Jones were lavishly illustrated, and many Palladian architects took their inspiration from the detailed drawings in these "design manuals".

		The Enlightenment led to the proliferation of texts describing the classical style of architecture, "the truest pieces of architecture." These treatises incorporated various Renaissance ideas from Andrea Palladio and the work of his immediate predecessors, principally Bramante and Michelangelo.
		The ideals of Vitruvius, the ancient Roman architect, are well represented since his was the only complete classical architectural treatise to survive.
		At the beginning of the 18th century, Lord Burlington sponsored a number of publications based on Palladian models: Vitruvius Britannicus (1715) by Colen Campbell; The Designs of Inigo Jones (1727) by William Kent; and several editions of Palladio's Four Books of Architecture, including one by Isaac Ware (1738).

		Last Friday I read about Vitruvius Britannicus in Architectural Theory: from the Renaissance to the Present (Taschen, 2003) and was surprised to learn:
		Campbell considers such understandings to be "Mistakes in Education." As the Vitruvius Britannicus is intended to demonstrate, it is now the architects and artists of England who are to take Italy's place as the preservers of timeless, classical taste."
		I cannot recall having ever read that Piranesi's oeuvre is in some ways a reaction to Vitruvius Britannicus, but I certainly see it that way now.

		I continued to be interested in the buildings themselves, but I also became intrigued by how these buildings had been lived in.
		As I began to learn more about these houses, I stumbled across, at a print shop in New York City, several pages from Vitruvius Britannicus, an 18th-century book of plans and elevations of the finest English country houses that the architect Colen Campbell had collected and published.
		One of the first ones that I bought was of Blenheim Palace, the Churchill family's estate northwest of Oxford.
