Recto: Temple Types: Amphiprostyle (Vitruvius, Book 3, Chapter 2, no. 4); Verso: Temple Types: Pseudodipteral (Vitruvius, Book 3, Chapter 2, no. 6). 1530 - 1545

This drawing, created by an unknown member of the Sangallo family, features a detailed study of temple architecture. The sheet depicts two temple types: "Amphiprostyle" and "Pseudodipteral," both referencing Vitruvius' architectural treatise. The left side displays a ground plan of the Amphiprostyle temple, while the right side showcases a perspective drawing of the Pseudodipteral temple set against a backdrop of other buildings. The meticulous detail and precise lines highlight the architectural knowledge of the Sangallo family, who were prominent architects and engineers during the Renaissance. This drawing is a valuable resource for understanding the evolution of architectural ideas during that period.
