About this product

Product Information

Vitruvius' Ten Books of Architecture was the fountainhead of architectural theory in the Italian Renaissance. Offering theoretical and practical solutions to a wide variety of architectural issues, this treatise did not, however, address all of the questions that were of concern to early modern architects. This study examines the Italian Renaissance architect's efforts to negotiate between imitation and reinvention of classicism. Through a close reading of Vitruvius and texts written during the period 1400-1600, Alina Payne identifies ornament as the central issue around which much of this debate focused.

‘This is an intelligent and original book that rewards close reading … a brief summary cannot do justice to the richness of ideas in this stimulating book.’Burlington Magazine, '... useful far beyond the more narrow study of Renaissance architecture... This is an important book.' The Art Book, Review of the hardback: 'This is an intelligent and original book that rewards close reading â€¦ a brief summary cannot do justice to the richness of ideas in this stimulating book.' Burlington Magazine, ‘… useful far beyond the more narrow study of Renaissance architecture… This is an important book.’The Art Book, "Paired with a meticulous exegesis of content and careful inclusion of the Latin and Italian originals throughout, such sensitivity makes Payne's study stand out among the flood of recent publications devoted to paper architecture...[the book] will be valuable chiefly to specialists in the history of aesthetics, rhetoric, or philosophy, as well as art and architecture in Italy. Its most original contribution...remains its engagement with the historiography of Renaissance architecture."
