Palazzio Te, Mantova, by Guilio Romano
A bold example of Mannerism - when a style becomes too perfect that people start taking calculated liberties
Unlike earlier Renaissance buildings, it is not easily comprehended with its strong, horizontal emphasis of the facade
due to over-prominent entablature 'cutting' through the columns + irregular arcades
The courtyard facade has classical elements but in an odd order
eg. the regular central triangular pediment is squeezed by architrave with larger columns (1 jan 1526 ano – 1 jan 1534 ano)
