Vitruvius described four styles of columns in his DeArchitectura, namely, Doric, Ionic, Corinthian and Tuscan. It is interesting to note that he also mentioned two styles of bases, i.e., Ionic and Attic, and three styles of doors, i.e., Doric, Ionic and Attic. We now need to consider what the Attic style is. It is known that the classical five Orders, abovementioned four types and Composite one, have been established from the 16th Century in Italy. This paper intends to examine the descriptions about the Attic style in the architectural treatises in the Renaissance, especially Raphael's descriptions, and to consider the relationship between the rise of the Composite Order and the fall of the Attic style.
