I’m so enjoying this project even though I’m only dedicating about 30 minutes to it each day. Incorporating these Palladian Villas into my everyday pages is the best part of this project! But more about this next week when I return and do more sketches of this villa. One of my favourites of Palladio’s early work, Villa Saraceno featured prominently in the docufilm I saw about Palladio when I was in Italy in 2019. If you have to convert a Palladian villa into a Baroque palace this is the way to do it. It’s always special to see Palladian villas in context and so Monica’s short videos really brought these buildings to life for me. As a special treat for our virtaal Palladian Odyssey tours, our art historian Monica, visited both of these and filmed a few short videos about them. I didn’t know much about either of these villas until last year. But hey, I’m not strictly going in order! I swapped the order of Villas Caldogno and Anagarano so that I could pair a red teacup with Angarano so this really should be PV11.

One day I hope to do a full study of The Orders but until then you can see what I’ve done to date here.Īt the other end of the scale from PV08, this is a simple farmhouse that Palladio was in the middle of modifying when the project was abandoned. I love this type of detailed descriptions and they definitely help with my sketching. I did refer to Palladio’s description as well…Īnd this brought back amazing memories of reading from Palladio’s Four Books while at Villa Emo in 2019. I used the measurements explained in my favourite book on The Orders by Robert Chitham. I wasn’t sure on Monday whether I would have time for a Palladian VIlla sketch, so instead I did a simple drawing of a Tuscan capital. It really is overly grand and at times I almost laughed aloud at how crazy parts of it are. I decided to sketch this with a fine pen (Platinum Carbon Pen) and got a bit bored with all the details. See full spread below for more about that. The choice is yours.The second week of my Palladian Villa project involved an eclectic collection of buildings.Ī crazy over the top Baroque building with only the faintest remnant of Palladio left – simply the two serlian openings on the main floor.

(2 Kings 5:1-15) Just like Naaman, you are free to choose your course of action. Yes, the instructions to dunk himself in the Jordan were simple, but what did he have to lose? Naaman accepted the counsel, followed Elisha's instructions and was healed. He was about to leave in a rage when one of his soldiers pointed out that if Elisha had asked him to do something great and difficult, he would have followed instructions without question. Yes, the instructions to dunk himself in the Jordan were simple, but what did he have to lose? That river was muddy and it was unacceptable for a high official to bath in it. Elisha told Naaman to go wash himself in the river Jordan, and to immerse himself seven times if he wanted to be healed. One of his slaves, an Israelite, suggested that he go to Samaria, where the prophet Elisha would be able to heal him. He contracted leprosy which was incurable and terminal. The Bible tells the story of Naaman, the commander of the Syrian army. Easy enough to set aside for “later.” Easy enough to think that maybe they're not so important, or not so special.
