Andrea Palladio

Andrea Palladio with Dr. Philip Rylands

Recorded February 15, 2024

Andrea Palladio (1508-1580) may have been the most influential architect who has ever lived. His buildings influenced Russian Palaces, Georgian country Houses in Britain, plantation houses in the American South, and Italian baroque churches. This lecture surveys his villas (in the Veneto), his palaces (in Vicenza), and his churches (in Venice) as well as two elusive palaces on the Grand Canal that were never built.

Philip Rylands is President and CEO of the Four Arts.
