Celebrating the Influence of the Great Renaissance
Architect Palladio
By Pamela Higgins Sheridan Libraries
Palladio's Villa Rotunda and his
bridge at Bassano del Grappa are pictured on the cover of
Guido Angelotti's architectural treatise Nuova Economia
per le Fabbriche. Bologna, 1765.
|
Andrea Palladio's wide-ranging influence on architecture is
the subject of Harmony to the Eyes:
Charting Palladio's Architecture From Rome to Baltimore,
opening on March 14 at the George Peabody
Library. The exhibition traces Palladio's architectural
development and illustrates his lasting legacy on
building design, particularly in Baltimore.
On display are first editions of rare architectural
treatises, hand-colored maps and original
prints from the 15th through the 19th centuries. A digital
reconstruction of pilgrimage routes
recommended by Palladio in his two famous guidebooks to
Rome is also featured.
Sponsored by the Sheridan Libraries and the Johns Hopkins
University Museums, the exhibition
is curated by Judith Proffitt, program coordinator at the
Homewood Museum, and Danielle Culpepper,
a research fellow at the Peabody Library.
Widely considered the most influential architect in Western
history, Palladio was born in 1508
in Padua, Italy, and worked during an age that witnessed a
revived interest in antiquity. He gained
great fame, both for his impressive building designs and
for his numerous publications. Palladio's ideas
and style spread throughout the Italian Renaissance, and
extended from Italy to England and
ultimately to America. In Baltimore, his influence is
visible in the design of America's first cathedral —
the Baltimore Basilica, built 1806-1821 — and in the
residences of Mount Clare and Homewood. Many of
the works on display are part of the collection amassed by
Baltimore architect Laurence Hall Fowler,
which, when received by Johns Hopkins in 1945, was
considered one of the finest collections of early
architectural treatises in North America. Housed at the
John Work Garrett Library in the Evergreen
Museum, the collection now numbers more than 600 titles,
with an emphasis on the works of
Renaissance architects including Alberti, Serlio and
Palladio.
An opening reception will be held at the Peabody Library,
17 E. Mount Vernon Place, at 6 p.m. on
Wednesday, March 26, and an illustrated lecture by the
curators will begin at 7 p.m. The exhibition,
part of the Baltimore Festival of Maps celebration, runs
through June 17 and may be viewed from 9
a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Saturday and noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. On Friday,
April 11, at Homewood Museum's eighth annual Baltimore's
Great Architects lecture series, an
international panel of distinguished scholars will explore
the current research on Palladio and his
lasting influence on building design in America. For

grant from the Samuel H. Kress Foundation, go to
