Vitruvius Britannicus Campbell Colen
A consortium of British architects and their patrons rebelled against the early eighteenth century's Baroque excesses and turned instead toward the Renaissance works of Andrea Palladio for inspiration. A sumptuous collection of magnificent copperplate engravings, it depicts great English country houses and public buildings.Published between 1715 and 1725 in a three-folio set, the Vitruvius Britannicus documents in meticulous detail many of the buildings from the previous two centuries. These Neo-Palladians guided the course of British architecture toward classical principles, and the Vitruvius Britannicus (British Vitruvius) reflects their vision.
Featured buildings include those designed by Inigo Jones, the seventeenth-century architect who introduced Palladianism to Its 300 illustrations include facades, ground plans, exterior elevations, and perspective views.
