Basilica Palladiana in Vicenza – Watercolor

Basilica Palladiana in Vicenza

This illustration is from the series that I painted on location during the motorbike tour to discover the wonderful Italian architectural heritage. This illustration will bring into your home the beauty of Italy, making it unique.

This painting represents a corner of the Palladian Basilica of Vicenza, a masterpiece by the architect Andrea Palladio who built numerous works in Vicenza now included in the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites. The original 15th-century palace collapsed in an earthquake in 1549, and the city commissioned Palladio to rebuild it. He added an external marble shell combining the loggia and the portico. This detail of the loggia is particularly significant because it was the first appearance of the Palladian Window, one of the innovations he introduced into Renaissance architecture and still widely used today.

This view couldn’t miss from those collected in my book “Italia Grand Sketching Tour“, second volume, available in Italian. The book is the collection of stories from my tour together with my watercolor and ink illustrations.
