Summary

Description
English: Fourth of four comparative drawings. A "palazzo" in the Classical style designed as a city building. This drawing shows the building as it would appear in a street. The building is strongly affected by perspective: its verticals taper and its horizontals appear curved. The upper line of the basement is approximately eye-height and therefore appears straight. It is a little wider than the building andstabilises everything below eye-level. Above eye-level, all the verticals appear to slope inwards. The architect counters this by adding an entablature that juts out much further than the basement. The end result is to counteract the apparent inward lean of the sides, caused by the restricted view. Without the inward taper, the entablature seems to large, and the building top-heavy.
