Following the sack of Rome, Serlio went to Venice, becoming acquainted with influential members of the French court and the French ambassador. Serlio traveled to France in 1541 to advise on the building works at Fontainebleau, and he remained in France for many years. Among the key works by Serlio that are extensively documented in this book are his Grand Ferrare, the house for the Papal Legate to France at Fontainebleau (1541-48), which became an important prototype for the hotel building type in France for the next century.

Seller's Description:
Used-Like New. Italian Renaissance architect Sebastiano Serlio (c. 1475-1555), who began to work as an architect only in his maturity and in France, is known and appreciated chiefly as a theorist and author of the highly influential treatise L'Architettura. This important publication is the first to document Serlio's work both as a theorist and builder. 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. The analysis of buildings and projects is supplemented by frequent references to his treatise and by a chapter on his life that aims to reveal his true personality by stripping away the prejudices that surround it. Beautiful copy with slight water inking damage 1/4 in ' on bottombinding only on interior hard bound ends. Slight warp on interior corner of slipcover. Slipcased. Overall still a beautiful copy.

Seller's Description:
New. 1904313221. *** FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request ***-*** IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT-Flawless copy, brand new, pristine, never opened--Text in English. 404 pages. Description: "Sebastiano Serlio is known to scholars today primarily as an architecture theorist who codified and illustrated the five Roman orders of architecture in Volume IV, 'Regole generale' (1537) of a four-book treatise on architecture that collectively became one of the cornerstone texts of Renaissance architecture. Less well-known, however, are Serlio's architectural designs and built works, most of which were realized in France and which are documented in this publication. Serlio was born in Bologna in around 1475 and studied painting in his early life before moving to Rome in about 1514, where he was a pupil of the High Renaissance architect Baldassari Peruzzi. Following the sack of Rome, Serlio went to Venice, becoming acquainted with influential members of the French court and the French ambassador. Serlio traveled to France in 1541 to advise on the building works at Fontainebleau, and he remained in France for many years. Among the key works by Serlio that are extensively documented in this book are his Grand Ferrare, the house for the Papal Legate to France at Fontainebleau (1541-48), which became an important prototype for the hotel building type in France for the next century. Other buildings included here are his chateau at Ancy-le-Franc, Burgundy; a projected chapel, Saint-Eloi des Orfevres, near Chatelet; and the 'Rosmarino' castle, near Lyon. As the author documents, Serlio's writings, typological studies, and drawings were highly influential and were imitated by several generations of French architects. Traces of Serlio can be found in the works of Vignola, Palladio, and the French mannerists, and his books on architecture are still in print and remain classic theoretical texts. This monograph brings years of archival research together with photographs and original ink drawings, making it a valuable publication for students and scholars of Renaissance architecture, art, and art history.
