Sebastiano Serlio

Japanese: セルリオ - せるりお(英語表記)Sebastiano Serlio
Sebastiano Serlio

Italian architect and theorist. Born in Bologna. He started out as a painter, but moved to Rome in 1515 to study architecture under Peruzzi. In 1527, he went to Venice with his teacher after the Sack of Rome, an invasion of the Papal States by the Holy Roman Emperor. His major work, "De Architectura", consists of seven books, the publication of which began with the fourth book in 1537, continued after he went to France in 1541 at the invitation of Francis I (reigned 1515-1547), and continued until the seventh book was published in 1575, after his death in Fontainebleau. This book was reprinted and translated into various languages, and became popular throughout Europe because it was a very practical guidebook centered on illustrations. One of the few architectural works that still exists is the house at Ancy-le-Franc in Burgundy.

イタリアの建築家、理論家。ボローニャに生まれる。初め画家として出発するが、1515年ローマに移りペルッツィに建築を学ぶ。1527年神聖ローマ皇帝による教皇領への侵攻であるローマ略奪Sacco di Roma(ローマ劫掠(ごうりゃく)ともいう)により、師とともにベネチアに赴く。その主著『建築論』は7書からなり、各書の出版は1537年の第4書に始まり、1541年フランソア1世(在位1515~1547)の招きでフランスに赴いたのちも継続され、フォンテンブローで彼が没したのち、1575年に公刊された第7書に至るまで長期にわたった。この書が版を重ねて各国語に訳出され、ヨーロッパ各地に普及したのは、図版中心のきわめて実用的な手引書であったことによる。現存する数少ない建築作品の一つとしてブルゴーニュのアンシー・ル・フランの居館があげられる。
