• Resumen

  • Philibert De l'Orme is an exemplary case of the attitude of a 16th-century architect to the architecture of Antiquity. Having gone to Rome in order to measure and sketch ruins, De l'Orme drew the paradoxical conclusion that the measurements were of no use as the basis of an architectural aesthetic. Their variability and relativity gave way to the reference to “Divine proportions” based on Scripture. His fragmentary surveys excluded all forms of integral resurrection of the antique buildings.
