EDITORS COMMENTS
I dieci libri dell'architettura di M. Vitruvio," or "The Ten Books on Architecture by Marcus Vitruvius Pollio," translated and annotated by Monsignor Daniele Barbaro, who was later elected Patriarch of Aquileia in 1556. The print, created in the 16th century, is a testament to the enduring influence of ancient Roman architecture and the intellectual pursuits of the Renaissance era. Vitruvius, an ancient Roman architect, engineer, and author, is considered one of the founding figures in Western architectural theory. His seminal work, "De architectura," or "On Architecture," was a comprehensive treatise on the art and science of architecture, covering topics such as site analysis, design, construction, and materials. The print features a depiction of Vitruvius, dressed in classical robes, seated at a treadmill, or "climacus," a device used for studying the movement of water. Surrounding him are various architectural drawings and figures, illustrating the concepts discussed in the text. The woodcut illustrations add depth and clarity to the complex ideas presented in the books. This print is a valuable addition to any art or architecture collection, offering a glimpse into the rich history of architectural thought and the enduring influence of ancient Roman culture. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving and studying our heritage, and the continued relevance of the principles of design and construction first outlined by Vitruvius over 2,000 years ago." The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, is home to numerous works by and related to Vitruvius, making it an ideal location for displaying this print and showcasing the importance of architectural history and its continued relevance in contemporary society.
