In 1974, he published, with Heydenreich, his most popular book, the 38th volume of the Pelican History of Art, entitled The Architecture in Italy: 1400-1600.[2] It presents a survey of Italian Renaissance architecture in the
Cinquecento, discussing the work of
Donato Bramante,
Giulio Romano,
Michelangelo, and
Andrea Palladio, among others, as well as the various centers of architectural activity throughout Italy. Three years later, Lotz published a selection of essays entitled, Studies in Italian Renaissance Architecture.[3]
