Bilder Sebastiano Serlio (1475–1554) – Rustic Doorway from The Five Books of Architecture – Woodcut (1545)

Beskrivning

This woodcut depicts a design for a rustic doorway constructed with rough-hewn masonry and surmounted by a broken pediment. The architectural composition demonstrates the application of the Doric order in a rugged style suitable for fortified structures or rural entrances. The image is part of a seminal architectural treatise that provided practical models for builders and integrated classical theory with visual examples.

Sebastiano Serlio was an Italian Mannerist architect and theorist who played a central role in codifying the classical orders of architecture. His multi-volume treatise Tutte l'opere d'architettura et prospetiva was the first to prioritize illustration over text, making the architectural language of Bramante and Raphael accessible to builders across Europe. He is recognized as one of the most influential figures in the dissemination of Renaissance architectural principles.
