Italian Gardens of the Renaissance
by John C. Shepherd
ISBN 9781878271525

As vibrant today as it was nearly seventy years ago, Italian Gardens of the Renaissance is renowned for its exquisite india-ink wash plans perspectives, and elevations. John C. Shepherd and Geoffrey A. Jellicoe's masterly study remains the classic work on the subject. It traces the development of Italian garden design from the early Renaissance work of Michelozzi, Bramante, Rossellino to its culmination in the villas Madama, Medici, and Papa Giulio. It then moves to the work of Palladio and Scamozzi through the Baroque to the abandonment of Renaissance ideals in the 18th century.
