Palladian Style Description: Inspired by the Classicism of the great Italian architect Palladio, designers such as Burlington, Campbell and Kent adapted his ideas to the English climate. They thus created a new style which was to pervade town and country house design throughout England and become a major influence in the colonies of North America. In this book Steven Parissien explores the appearance of Palladian villas in England and follows the style as it spread to the average home through pattern-books. The book examines the origins, forms and development of the style through building materials, fixtures and fittings, as well as period colours and coverings, presenting the reader with a full picture of the architecture, furnishings and decor of the style....
