Patio du château de Vélez Blanco

1506–15
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 534
Le patio du château de Vélez Blanco, près d’Almeria, est un bijou architectural composite. L’asymétrie de la structure, le plafond à solives et à poutres, les arcs segmentaires et les gargouilles gothiques trahissent les origines espagnoles de l’architecte. Les détails Renaissance sont l’œuvre de sculpteurs du nord de l’Italie. Un somptueux ensemble de végétaux et d’animaux fantaisistes décore les arcs, les piliers de la balustrade, les portes et les fenêtres. Bien que foisonnants, les motifs conservent la clarté des formes, l’esprit naturaliste et la tridimensionnalité du début de la Renaissance italienne.
