PALLADIAN

This article appears in Volume V20, Page 635 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PAI-PAS
PALLADIAN , the term given in English architecture to one of the phases of the Italian Renaissance, introduced into England in 162o by Inigo Jones, a
great
  admirer of the works of
Andrea
  Palladio (q.v.). In 1716, Richard Boyle, 3rd
earl
  of Burlington, who also admired the works of Palladio, copied some of them, the front of old Burlington
House
  being more or less a reproduction of the Palazzo
Porto
  at Vicenza, and the villa at
Chiswick
  a copy of the Villa
Capua
  near Vicenza. It is probably due to Lord Burlington that the title Palladian is the designation for the Italian style as practised in England. In 1862 Sir Gilbert Scott's
Gothic
  design for the new government offices was rejected and Lord Palmerston selected in preference the Palladian style. In France and America, Barozzi Vignole (1507-1573), another Italian architect, holds a similar position as the
chief
  authority on the Italian Renaissance.
