Andrea Palladio
The sixteenth-century
Italian architect Andrea Palladio, one of the great masters
of Renaissance culture, has had an enduring influence on American
architecture.
His theories were introduced
to America in the mid 18th century at such pioneering monuments
as Drayton Hall in South Carolina and Mount Airy in Virginia.
Later, architects including
Peter Harrison, William Buckland, John Trumbull, and Thomas
Jefferson began to incorporate into their buildings forms
and motifs inspired by Palladio's great opus, Four Books
on Architecture.
