CORSO Fra Giocondo e i monumenti di Atene

Abstract

In this article I forward the suggestion that the drawing of the Caryatids in Fra Giocondo's edition of Vitruvius of 1511 derives from the lodge of Caryatids of the Erechtheion. His drawing of the tower of the winds also appears to derive from the monument itself. Probably Fra Giocondo got information on these two monuments when he resided in Nauplion or in Monemvasia in 1506
