Manfred Wundram Book order (chronological)

No other architect in the history of Western art has had an influence so spontaneous and yet so enduring as Andrea Palladio. Palladianism broke through all cultural stylistic barriers. It spread not only throughout the Neo-Latin nations but also influenced Germany, the Netherlands, Scandinavia, and the countries of Eastern Europe, shaping English architecture of the 17th and 18th centuries. Palladio lived in an age that was extremely exciting for the historical development of architecture, and his work was an important factor in the evolution from Renaissance to Baroque. This volume offers a thorough introduction to the architecture of Palladio and includes all works attributed to him.

Mysticism of the Middle Ages The earliest Gothic art dates back to mid-12th century France, from which it spread throughout Western Europe through the 15th century. The Gothic style, which dominated the European aesthetic for four centuries, was prominent both in architecture, especially cathedrals and churches, and the arts—painting, sculpture, stained glass, illuminated manuscripts, and frescoes. Predominantly religious, Gothic art was dark and emotional, marked by intensity and logical formalism. The later Gothic period, known as the International Style, was a precursor to the Renaissance. Artists featured: Giotto di Bondone, Duccio di Bouninsegna, Dieric Bouts, Robert Campin, Cimabue, Petrus Christus, Barthélemy d’Eyck, Jan van Eyck, Andrea da Firenze, Jean Fouquet, Nicolas Froment, Hugo van der Goes, Jaume Huguet, Stefan Lochner, Ambrogio Lorenzetti, Simone Martini, Master Bertram, Master Franke, Master of the Glatz Madonna, Master of the Paradise Garden, Master of Saint Veronica, Master Theoderich, Master of the Wilton Diptychons, Master Wittingau, Hans Memling, Lorenzo Monaco, Lukas Moser, Michael Pacher, Martin Schongauer, Rogier van der Weyden, Konrad Witz

Andrea Palladio's 'Villa Rotonda' in Vicenza became the most famous building of its kind; it influenced many later designs and remains an important source of inspiration for architects. Part of the "Basic Architecture" series, this title gives an introduction to the work of Andrea Palladio (1508-1580).

This penetrating study of one of the most fruitful epochs in European art presents the Renaissance not simply as the rebirth of classical styles, but also as the period that saw ""the invasion of man and his world into the domain of the arts"".

This volume offers a thorough introduction to the architecture of Palladio, whose work includes both villas and town palaces and sacred buildings. It contains many large format colour photographs and only includes those works by Palladio which have been definitely attributed to him by research. "No other architect in the history of Western art has had as lasting an effect as Andrea Palladio. 'Palladianism' became an established style of architecture. This book provides an introduction to the complete works of this great 16th-century Italian architect. His palaces, villas and religious buildings are presented here in a collection of excellent photographs."
