Paper Baroque. Drawings and the International Style in Architecture and Garden Design around 1700 by Martin OLIN – Munich (Germany)
Towards the end of the 17th century, two ideals stirred the imaginations of European architects and their patrons: Papal Rome and the France of Louis XIV. Whether they had studied and travelled abroad or not, many architects from Northern and Central Europe experimented with solutions that combined the sometimes incongruous elements of French and Roman Baroque. This lecture will explore how they used drawings to understand, develop and communicate the style – or variations on a theme – that might be labelled International Baroque.
