Since its first appearance in Germany in 1970, "The Villa as Hegemonic Architecture" has become an example of an ideological critique in art history and it remains one of the most innovative examples of New Left art history. Its recognised importance lies in its demonstration of the relevance of social and political effects on art and architecture, in this case 16th century Palladian villa. Illustrated with 24 full-page photographs and line drawings, this study, now available for the first time in a complete English translation, is intended to be of particular interest to advanced students of art historical methods as well as to students of architectural history, especially of the Renaissance period.
