This book is the culmination of a lifetime of studies on Renaissance art an and architecture. By combining a searching interpretation of contemporary sources with a detailed analysis of the buildings themselves, the author disposes once and for all of the old, purely aesthetic theory of Renaissance architecture; and by integrating architecture with music, philosophy and science, he opens up entirely new perspectives not only in architecture, but also into the Humanist minds.

It can safely be said that scores have profited from, and been inspired by Architectural Principles in the Age of Humanism and its lesson of the importance of consistent modular relations. No other book on the subject of architectural history written by scholars of his generation has had such a creative effect on men in practice.
Nikolaus Pevsner, Foreword to Art and Architecture in Italy (Penguin Books).


Professor Wittkower`s mind is not only inquiring but immensely well stored and tenacious. His studies of humanist architecture are masterpieces of scholarship.
Sir Kenneth Clark, Architectural Review.

...is certain to have a profound and salutory effect on the study of Renaissance architecture.
James S. Ackerman, The Art Bulletin.


To say that this is the best study of Italian Renaissance architecture in English is faint praise.
