a commentary as elegant and considered as the architecture itself. Wonderful presentation of the beauty and harmony of these timeless iconic buildings. Interesting reference to Veronese paintings. I love the mystery around why Palladio chose to ignore them in his discussion of the Barbaro.
Palladio possessed a strict philosophy where form rigidly followed function, thereby ensuring his continual influence throughout the resulting Centuries
Nicely done, but I'm surprised that the ratio illustrated at 11:28 isn't identified as the Golden Mean, which is also the proportion illustrated at 11:37.
A lovely introduction to this villa. Thank you! So informative. I've just bought the Taschen hardback book of Palladio's buildings, definitely recommended for those interested in Palladio. Thank you also for the absence of music, so many documentaries use music as wallpaper rather than punctuation. Calm and authoritative. Bravo!
Dear Cinthia, I am writing in on behalf of my organisation, NUS Harmonica Orchestra, to ask for your kind permission to use your footages and photography for educational viewing. We would be using it during our concert screening to let our audiences learn about the geometry and symmetry in Palladio's architecture. Thank you very much for the helpful and informative video. We will be sure to give you due credit. Best wishes, Tiffany
IT IS MONUMENTAL in proportion though Andrea Palladio work destined to influence architecture up to the end of time… matter of simplicity, then symmetry form acquired its finest enriching upon the classic orders enactment. We shall call him The Tuscan Architect as he intentionally conspired with God to intermingle his divine inspiration through the very serenity of nature. Humane into highest impersonation of the self… heart and soul are taken into complete sublimation through invigorating thus harmonious habitat, where the observer is privileged to fool the passing of the ages through an imaginative arch of grandest statue and frescos designed to attain unlimited inventiveness and unimaginable rejuvenating living.
