Villa Pisani -The other side of the hall Photo

Photographer’s Note

In the project for the Villa Pisani, Palladio’s objective was an ambitious one: to realise a country residence catering to the refined tastes of the Pisani brothers and at the same time capable of providing a concrete, rational and organising focus for the entire complex of agricultural annexes. In fact, Palladio succeeded in inserting the manorial block, stables, barchesse and dovecotes all within a unified design. That is, he disposed all the elements which in the Quattrocento villa had faced the farmyard in a casual arrangement devoid of functional and formal hierarchies.
At the same time, he translated the practical necessities of agricultural life into innovatory forms, articulated in a language inspired by ancient architecture. Like a Roman temple, the villa rises on a high basement, which emphasises the building and conceals the service areas.

This perspective of the hall looks nicer. Perhaps because the courtyard and statues are visible. The tones are still very good and, yes there is overexposure in the background but the picture is still very nice. Beautiful architecture in this palace :-)

Hi Patricia,
the POV is quite good, even if that "lonely arm" of the statue behind the first column is a bit annoying and the courtyard comes out a bit over-exposed. But the pleasant feature that makes this shot remarkable is, in my opinion, the athmosphere given by its warm intimate yellow colour. Impressive! Dario.

Ola Patricia,

Vejo que chegou recentemente da Italia! Adei meio afastada do site estas ultimas semanas e foi com otima surpresa que encontrei suas novas fotos da Italia. Esta aqui me chamou a atencao por causa das plilastras e Estatuas Romanas que me agradam. A sua nota r tb muito ilustrativa e da vontade de visitar o lugar para descobrir como e que a arquitetura da Villa se integrou no ambiente agrario da regiao. Em que epoca foi construido?

Abracos,

Flavia
