EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare and valuable book titled "De Architectura Libri Dece" by Marcus Pollio Vitruvius, dating back to 1521. The woodcut and print were created by the Italian School in the 16th century, measuring an impressive 38.6x26.6 cm. Currently held in a private collection, this particular edition of Vitruvius' work includes an Italian translation and commentary by Cesare Cesariano, with contributions from Massimo Mauro and Benedetto Giovio. The significance of this book lies in its comprehensive exploration of ancient Roman architecture and its influence on Renaissance design principles. It delves into various aspects such as theater construction, perspective techniques, classical orders, centrally planned structures like rotundas, arcaded buildings, elevations, and more. What makes this edition even more special is that it is known as "The Como Vitruvius" named after the city where it was published on July 15th, 1521. Paolo Gottardo da Ponte oversaw its production for Agostino Gallo and Aloiso Pirovano. Through this remarkable photograph captured by eChristies Images courtesy of Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back to a time when architectural knowledge was cherished and celebrated. This image not only serves as a visual delight but also reminds us of the enduring legacy left behind by great minds like Marcus Pollio Vitruvius during the Renaissance
