Description
View of the "little temple" in the courtyard of San Pietro in Montorio in Rome, Italy. "Here, unlike many classical precedents, Bramante uses the severe Roman Doric order with alternating metopes and triglyphs. Fifteenth century Italian Renaissance architects had generally preferred the Ionic or Corinthian orders ... The temple is composed of two concentric cylinders--a wide low outer one and a tall narrow inner one--the temple itself. The peristyle and steps circle around the main cylinder,"--by Mary Ann Sullivan, Bluffton University.
