Santa Maria Nova, Vicenza 1578

This architectural design by Andrea Palladio, completed in 1578, is a prime example of the Renaissance style. The Santa Maria Nova church in Vicenza, Italy features a symmetrical facade with a central pediment, classical columns, and a large arched doorway. Palladio's use of classical elements, such as the pediment, columns, and arches, was inspired by ancient Roman architecture. This building, with its harmonious proportions and elegant details, exemplifies Palladio's influence on the development of Western architecture.
