Title
Andreas Palladius Vicentinus
Description
English: Frontispiece of The Architecture of A. Palladio, first edition (1715) of Giacomo Leoni's translation of Andrea Palladio's Quattro libri dell'architettura (1570), published in London (caption at source: "Portrait of Palladio from the Leoni edition, 1715"); this was the first translation of Palladio's work into English. An inscription in Latin in the lower left corner (Paulus Caliary Veronensis Efigiem pinxit) indicates that the engraving is based on a portrait painting by Veronese. According to Nash (1999, pp. 1347–1349), the painting is a fake. Rudolf Wittkower has shown that it is not by Veronese nor does it depict Palladio (Wittkower 1974, p. 82, cited by Nash). Instead it "is entirely the invention of Sebastiano Ricci." (Nash, p. 1349)
