| Discussion | Palace of Charles V Commentary
"The unfinished palace of Charles V at Granada, begun by Pedro Machuca in 1526, was designed with the architecture of Bramante and Raphael in mind. Its round courtyard, which evokes the circular vestibule designed by Raphael for the Villa Madama, has superposed, unadorned Doric and Ionic columns carrying simple entablatures. Compared to Plateresque examples, it has a purity and chasteness bordering on austerity. Machuca had been in Italy as late as 1520 and could therefore translate with relative ease the grand forms of the Renaissance into a clear and direct Spanish architecture, which contrasted sharply with the tortuous complexities of the Plateresque." — Marvin Trachtenberg and Isabelle Hyman. Architecture: from Prehistory to Post-Modernism. p332. | |||||
