Description of the subjects depicted in the print:
From the original description: "Vicenza owes its chief distinction
to the fame of its architect, the celebrated Palladio, who flourished in
the sixteenth century. Some of his most famous works adorn his native city;
and amongst these may be named the Palazzo della Ragione, or Court of Justice,
and the Pallazzo Prefettizio, the house of the chief magistrate; both which
edifices come immediately into the foreground of our view. The style of
Palladio is marked by severity, and is formed from the ancient temples
and the works of Vitruvius. Palladian architecture was introduced into
England by Inigo Jones, whose works are worthy imitations of the Italian
master; but since his time no one in this country seems to have imbibed
the spirit of Palladio, for scarcely a single edifice constructed by the
followers of Inigo Jones exhibits anything better than a servile copy of
his style, and an evident ignorance of its capabilities. British architects,
to the present day, appear to delight in incongruities, or if not so, they
certainly want mental power and correct taste, since their most elaborate
efforts are too frequently "a chaos of disjointed things." In our own city,
and within the last five or six years, an architect of some pretensions
supported the loggia of a public edifice, consisting of a heavy pediment
and massive Corinthian columns, upon slender Ionic pillars! True, the latter
were removed, and a solid rusticated basement substituted in their room;
still, "we cannot but remember such things were, that were most frightful
to us." "Can such things be and overcome us like a summer's cloud, without
our special wonder?"
