Following his travels to England, Holland, Prussia, and Venice at the turn of the 18th century, Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach developed a new "Palladian" style for palace facades. This style was characterized by classical proportions, a central projection accentuated by a giant order, a triangular pediment, and relatively unarticulated lateral sections.1
In Vienna, the notable buildings that exemplify this later Palladian style are:
- Bohemian Chancellery (1708–1714)1
- Trautson Palace (1710–1716)1
