Download or read book Villas and Gardens of the Renaissance written by and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 2021-03-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A stunning collection of photographs celebrating the excellence of the Italian Renaissance period through palaces and gardens built between the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The book illustrates nine locations of extraordinary artistic and architectural interest, conceived by prominent Italian families and dynasties as urban villas or country houses centered around the pursuit of entertainment and leisure. These lavishly decorated and frescoed palaces are adorned with handcrafted furniture and works of art and surrounded by gardens that retain their original layout to this day--a very rare feature. An historical text introduces each property, giving an overview of its origins. The villas have been specially photographed for this book by Dario Fusaro, with views of both the palace interiors and their grounds, as well as the gardens, glimpses of the halls, details of the furnishings, and a focus on the frescoes, where still preserved. Explanatory text offers insights on the most interesting frescoes, such as those of Veronese at Villa Barbaro. For the first time, Fusaro also employs a drone with the purpose of capturing the architectural structure and elements of each Italian Renaissance garden, from above and as a whole. This all-access volume is essential for fans and readers interested in Italian art, for those who love to travel through Italy in search of places of artistic interest, and for those seeking out green tourist destinations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the earliest Roman settlements, Italians have been expertly cultivating their land into beautiful and creative displays of nature, where terraces and walkways, plants and flowers, water and statuary are combined to provide a unique ad inspiring setting. The Italian garden has greatly evolved throughout the ages, taking on different forms, favoring different plants, and serving different purposes. Early Italian gardens made use of citrus, still regarded as an essential element for its bright fruit and shiny leaves. The ancient art of the topiary was revived in the Renaissance for its drama and elegance, and the refined parterre was developed to spread forth from the great palazzos and provide a dramatic view from their upper stories. Later, in the nineteenth century, the influence of the English garden took hold, with its meandering paths, asymmetrical lakes, and blossoming trees. In "Italian Gardens, author Judith Wade explores more than five hundred years of this tradition, discussing each of these developments and transporting the reader to thirty-seven of the most captivating gardens of Italy. Eleven regions are visited, from Lombardy and Piedmont in the north, to the island of Sicily in the south. Both small and grandiose, historic and contemporary gardens are featured. Travel with Wade to the aristocratic Villa Favorita in Lugano, where an avenue of cypresses welcomes those who approach; the English-style park of Villa Novare Bertani in Verona, with its seventeenth-century wine cellar; the eighteenth-century Avenue of the Camelias at Lucca's Villa Reale, where the American artist John Singer Sargent painted; and great examples of contemporary Italian landscapes, likeLa Mortella in Naples, which boasts more than eight hundred species of rare plants. As "living works of art" these changing displays of nature grow and bloom with the seasons. Smell the roses and lavender, feel the light

Download or read book Italian Villas and Their Gardens (Classic Reprint) written by Edith Wharton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fans of Edith Wharton simply must read Italian Villas and Their Gardens, which is considered the novelist's first published work. Century Magazine commissioned Wharton to write a series of articles on Italian villas and gardens. She then went on a four-month tour of Italy, which is described in loving detail in Italian Villas and Their Gardens. Wharton's articles are accompanied by 26 illustrations by painter Maxfield Parrish, whose dreamlike scenes transport the reader to scenic Italy. The book gives a detailed history of Italian garden architecture and ornamentation by exploring over 75 villas. Wharton expertly describes the magic of these traditional gardens and explains the relationship between the local countryside, the villas and their formal gardens. Wharton was one of the first writers to take the study of formal gardens as seriously as other forms of art and architecture, and Italian Villas and Their Gardens influenced generations of landscape artists and writers. As any devoted reader of The Age of Innocence and The House of Mirth knows, Wharton's novels always contain intricate descriptions of houses, gardens and decor. She used descriptions of houses and their surroundings as expressions of her characters' inner struggles. Wharton had a passion for European culture and she displays quite a command of Italian garden architecture in Italian Villas and Their Gardens. The themes of Wharton's fiction typically include journeys or travels or displacement. Cultural tensions also figure prominently, whether they are between new conventions and old traditions, or between European mores and American ways. These same concerns are intimated in Italian Villas and Their Gardens, which is a travelogue containing beautiful descriptions of an Italian tradition. This wonderful book will thrill readers.
