Notes

The Palazzo Chiericati was built to Andrea Palladio's design from 1550. The drawing differs from the executed design, which consists of two stories and does not have the five-bay upper storey shown here. Otherwise it broadly corresponds, having 11 bays in all, a Doric order to the ground floor and an Iconic order to the firs floor - the drawing having a Corinthian order to the upper floor.
