Renaissance Architectural Orders by Vignola's Frontispiece, 1767
About the Item
This image is an intricate frontispiece from a book by Jacques Barozzi de Vignole, known as Vignola, an influential 16th-century Italian architect who was one of the great architect theorists of the Renaissance. The title "Livre nouveau des cinq ordres d'architecture" translates to "New Book of the Five Orders of Architecture," which refers to the classical orders: Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, and Composite.
The frontispiece is rich in allegorical imagery, displaying various figures and symbols that represent the art of architecture and the knowledge contained within the book. Such engravings served not only as decorative elements but also as symbolic representations of the content and importance of the work.
Engravings like this were typical in the Renaissance and Baroque periods, serving as ornate and didactic introductions to the subject matter of the book, often including references to the author's contributions to the field, and sometimes, as seen here, including verses addressing the reader.
