Abstract

The object of this work is to show the iconic fortune of the caryatides model, since they were represented for the first time within the Vitruvius by Fra Giocondo da Verona. His decision and mode of illustration determines the posterior iconographic production which operates permanent interactions with subsequent versions of treatises on Vitruve. The variations over the model are conditioned by direct architectural knowledge, discoveries, archaeological remains and textual interpretations, all of them, embellished by the creative genius of their authors. The different graphical solutions provided for the caryatides archetype throughout the XV^th century will influence the representations which illustrate the translations into some other European languages in later periods. By virtue of the immanence in time of vitruvian work and of its geographical diffusion, it is possible to define evolution features and particular formal characteristics depending on diverse production contexts.
