[Harris/Savage 230]. An important work on architecture which influenced both French and English architects of the late 17th and early 18th centuries. This is the first edition in English from the original French edition of 1650, a book which Evelyn had purchased shortly after its publication. With printed dedications to Charles II, and to Sir John Denham, Surveyor of the King's Works, this book was intended for an intellectual market and to demonstrate the superiority of the architecture and proportions of ancient buildings. This edition was followed by three more by 1733, attesting to the success of this book and was probably then circulated among builders and artisans. Roland Fréart de Chambray (1606 1676) was a French writer, collector, and a theorist of architecture and the arts. Though not a practitioner himself, his two major publications, Parallèle de l'architecture antique avec la moderne (1650) and Idée de la perfection de la peinture (1662), appeared at a time when French architects were struggling to apply a new sense of discipline and order to the practice of building. He spent several years in Italy and returned there often on different projects, including casting the colossal horsemen of the Quirinal in bronze for the main entrance to the Louvre, a project never brought to fruition following the deaths of both Cardinal Richelieu and King Louis XIII. Fréart's objective when his book was first published in Paris in 1650 was to compare the treatment of the orders of architecture by such eminent writers as Palladio, Scamozzi, and Serlio, with actual examples from the surviving buildings of ancient Rome, and as such his book was highly regarded by architectural practitioners of the period in and outside France. The book was translated into English by distinguished connoisseur John Evelyn (1620 1706) as A parallel of the antient architecture with the modern. Evelyn writes a long and fawning dedicatory epistle to King Charles II (1630 1685) and adds to the original French text an essay by Leon Battista Alberti "De Statua" (original in Latin but Evelyn's translation from the Italian version by Cosimo Bartoli); pp. 145159 with two plates and tables of ideal statuary proportions and measurements.
