Villa Farnesina, Stables, half front elevation and end elevation (recto) Palazzo Salviati-Adimari, plan

Technical pen-and-ink drawings showing the facade and end elevation of a classical building with two stories of rectangular windows and pilasters. The sheet includes detailed cross-sections of architectural moldings labeled with letters and numerous handwritten measurements in palmi. A central portal is depicted with an inscription identifying the patron, Agostino Chigi.

This drawing reflects the Renaissance application of Vitruvian principles and Euclidean geometry to create harmonious physical structures, a practice rooted in the natural philosophy that saw mathematical order as a reflection of cosmic law. The patron, Agostino Chigi, was a central figure in Roman Neoplatonic circles who frequently commissioned works integrating astrological and philosophical themes.
