The "Plan and cross section of Villa Rotunda" is a seminal architectural illustration from "I Quattro Libri dell'Architettura" (The Four Books of Architecture), a treatise written by the influential Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio, first published in 1570. This illustration is a quintessential example of Palladio's architectural principles, showcasing his design for the Villa Almerico Capra, commonly known as the Villa Rotonda or Villa Rotunda, located near Vicenza, Italy. The villa is celebrated for its symmetrical design, classical proportions, and the harmonious integration of its parts, which Palladio meticulously detailed in his treatise.

The illustration provides a visual representation of both the plan and elevation of the villa, revealing Palladio's mastery in creating a building that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. The plan view illustrates the central circular hall surrounded by four identical porticoes, a design inspired by ancient Roman temples, while the cross section reveals the villa's dome and the innovative use of space within the structure. This work not only serves as a blueprint for the construction of the Villa Rotunda but also as an enduring example of Palladian architecture, influencing countless architects and designers for centuries to come.

Palladio's "I Quattro Libri dell'Architettura" is a foundational text in the field of architecture, and the "Plan and cross section of Villa Rotunda" is one of its most iconic and studied illustrations. It embodies the principles of harmony, proportion, and order that are characteristic of Palladio's style and the broader Renaissance architectural movement. The illustration is not only significant for its historical and cultural value but also for its continued relevance in architectural education and practice.
