Ep. 5: Andrea Palladio and the English Country House, feat. Gee Cooper
Manage episode 326872048 series 3321867
We are very pleased to welcome our first guest for this episode, Gee Cooper. Gee works for the National Trust, specializing in the history and conservation of English country houses, primarily Claydon House and Uppark. With a thorough grasp on all of the major architectural intricacies of these houses, Gee and I discuss the lasting impact of the Renaissance architectural style of Andrea Palladio, and how the 18th century English country house proliferated a Palladian revival in relation to contemporary Neoclassic trends.
Andrea Palladio served the Venetian Republic as one of its most important architects from 1508 to 1580. His most famous works still stand today in Venice, Vicenza, and other parts of northern Italy. For Palladio, the primary inspiration for architectural design was Vitruvius, who wrote his architectural treatise in the first century B.C.E. This book was a major influence during the Renaissance, coming to print in 1486. As we will discuss, the impact of Vitruvius extends beyond Palladio, to the great English architects of the 1700’s.
