Palladio (1508 -1580) was a stonemason, who became one of the world's most influential Architects. His Venetian Villas revived the themes of classical buildings and featured harmoniously proportioned rooms. They became the model for the English county houses of the eighteenth century. Inigo Jones (1573-1652) had a collection of nearly three hundred designs and sketches by Andrea Palladio. Their influence on American buildings such as Monticello was to shape they way we think about buildings today.
