Extraordinary not only in their beauty and design inventiveness, but also in the varied representational techniques and practical mathematics noted within them, Peruzzi’s drawings record an evolving artistic process. Reassessing his architectural masterworks, Huppert also explores lesser-known work: his studies of Roman antiquity, realized paintings and unrealized buildings, as well as engineering projects. Huppert shows that Peruzzi anticipated modern representational methods and scientific approaches in architecture, and pinpoints the moment when architecture began to emerge as a profession distinct from the other arts.
Ann C. Huppert is associate professor of architectural history in the Department of Architecture at the University of Washington in Seattle.
“[Huppert] writes with crystalline clarity and is a close reader of architectural drawings. This handsome Yale production is now the book to have for English readers on a central figure of the Roman Renaissance.”—Joseph Connors, Renaissance Quarterly
“Ann Huppert’s beautifully written and well-illustrated book . . . sheds long overdue insight into this worthy but undersung Renaissance architect and painter.”—Sara Nair James, The Sixteenth Century Journal
