A plan and elevation of Palazzo Pandolfini

An etching depicting the plan and elevation of Palazzo Pandolfini, a building in Via San Gallo, Florence, commissioned by the bishop of Troia, Giannozzo Pandolfini, from Raphael. This print is lettered with the number 33, a title in French and two scales. It was published as plate 33 of "Architecture toscane: palais, maisons, églises et autres édifices publics et privés principalement des 15e, 16e et 17e siècles", by Grandjean de Montigny (first published in 1806). Annotated on the verso.

This publication appeared serially from 1806, in eighteen parts.

A number of different timetables have been proposed by scholars for the construction of the building (see Bibliographic References).

According to Pagliara (see Bibliographic References), Raphael probably saw the terrain and the existing buildings between 1515 and 1516, but did not begin working on this project until 1517. Then living in Rome, Raphael possibly sent the plans he drew over to Florence, where Giovan Francesco da Sangallo first and his brother Aristotile da Sangallo later were actually in charge of the architectural workshop.
According to Ruschi (see Bibliographic References), the project is to be dated before the visit of Pope Leo X to Florence in 1515 as works on the palace were then already in progress and the first phase of the construction was finished in 1520. Ferdinando Pandolfini became responsible for the second phase of works after the death of his uncle Giannozzo in 1525.
