Editing Venetian window (section)

== Origins and Development ==
The Venetian window design originates from the Renaissance period and is strongly associated with the Italian architect [[Andrea Palladio]] (1508–1580), who used it extensively in his works. However, its conceptual origins can be traced back to the earlier architect [[Sebastiano Serlio]] (1475–1554), who described a similar window form in his treatise ''Tutte l'opere d'architettura et prospettiva'' (1537). Because of Serlio’s early documentation, the window is sometimes referred to as a Serlian window.<ref>Summerson, John. ''The Classical Language of Architecture''. MIT Press, 1980.

Palladio further refined the form and integrated it into his villas and palaces, which led to its popularization across Europe and later in the United States during the 18th and 19th centuries.
