Marcus Pollio Translated Vitruvius Aisa Architectura
EDITORS COMMENTS
Marcus Vitruvius Pollio, a Roman architect, engineer, and author of the first comprehensive treatise on architecture, is depicted in this print from the 1st century BC. Vitruvius is best known for his seminal work, "De Architectura," also translated as "The Ten Books on Architecture." This groundbreaking text, which has influenced Western architectural thought for over two thousand years, covers various aspects of architecture, including design principles, materials, construction techniques, and the role of the architect. Vitruvius' influence extended beyond the Roman world, as his ideas were adopted and adapted by architects and builders throughout Europe during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. His work laid the foundation for the development of classical architecture and the architectural profession itself. The print, a beautiful and intricate woodcut, showcases Vitruvius in the act of writing, surrounded by architectural plans and models. The intricate details of the woodcut, such as the columns, arches, and intricate patterns, reflect the depth and breadth of Vitruvius' architectural knowledge. The print also includes an inscription that reads, "M. Vitruvio," further emphasizing the importance of this ancient Roman figure in the history of architecture. As a testament to Vitruvius' enduring influence, this print is a must-have for any architectural history enthusiast, scholar, or collector. It provides a unique and captivating glimpse into the world of ancient Roman architecture and the man who helped shape it.
