Sabine Frommel, an art historian specializing in the French and Italian Renaissance, explores the work of Sebastiano Serlio (c. 1480–1554), both theorist, author of architectural treatises, and practitioner. The book traces his training in Bologna, his time in Rome under the influence of Peruzzi, his work in Venice, and his later arrival in France under Francis I, where he contributed, among other projects, to the Château of Ancy-le-Franc, Fontainebleau, and the development of a new approach to classical orders.
