Francesco Borromini is one of the great geniuses of Baroque architecture, perhaps the greatest in inventiveness and in use of spatial effects. Here is the first book in English to survey the whole work of the master. The author, former Director of the Courtauld Institute of Art, is known internationally for his many works on French and Italian architecture and painting.In this lucid and fully illustrated account, Anthony Blunt charts Borromini’s career and analyzes and assesses his art. Mr. Blunt tells of Borromini’s training, relating his style to that of Bernini, under whom he worked, and to the architecture from which he learned, for example Michelangelo’s. Borromini’s patrons allowed him freedom to evolve his own ideas, and his originality and imagination in inventing new architectural forms become apparent as the author studies individual commissions. His imagination was apparently limitless, but his inventions evolved in terms of rigidly controlled geometry. It is this combination of revolutionary inventiveness and intellectual control that gives Borromini’s work particular appeal in the twentieth century.

"Some consider Francesco Borromini (1599-1667) "the greatest genius of Baroque architecture." Only fifty years ago, after centuries of abuse or neglect, a German scholar, Eberhard Hempel, again gave serious consideration to his architecture. Now, Borromini is seen as a great innovator, a source of inspiration like Brunelleschi, Bramante, and Michelangelo. The Roman Oratory discussed here was a group of men organized by the Counter-Reformation saint, Filippo Neri, and dedicated to prayer and music; they sponsored a new musical genre, the Oratorio. This book focuses on their commission to design a fully equipped residence, an act of patronage that launched Borromini's career. This is the first serious study of a major Roman religious residence in the seventeenth century, including the financing of its building and operation. Furthermore, this book explores a new urbanism, public spaces shaped by architecture in relation to its vital environment. Above all, it portrays architectural genius coming to grips with powerful institutional values, fusing strict control and soaring imagination into a masterwork of perennial importance. "Borromini and the Roman Oratory" includes a Catalogue of Drawings and more than 260 illustrations -- plans, sketches, and related material -- many published here for the first time. Professor Connors establishes a new chronology of the work and revises attributions of design authorship in his decisive study of triumphant Baroque civilization."

This is the only book dedicated to the Geometry of Polycentric Ovals. It includes problem solving constructions and mathematical formulas. For anyone interested in drawing or recognizing an oval, this book gives all the necessary construction and calculation tools. More than 30 basic construction problems are solved, with references to Geogebra animation videos, plus the solution to the Frame Problem and solutions to the Stadium Problem.A chapter (co-written with Margherita Caputo) is dedicated to totally new hypotheses on the project of Borromini’s oval dome of the church of San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane in Rome. Another one presents the case study of the Colosseum as an example of ovals with eight centres.The book is unique and new in its kind: original contributions add up to about 60% of the whole book, the rest being taken from published literature (and mostly from other work by the same author). The primary audience is: architects, graphic designers, industrial designers, architecture historians, civil engineers; moreover, the systematic way in which the book is organised could make it a companion to a textbook on descriptive geometry or on CAD.

A Guide Book That Traces 5 Artist; Each of the Itineraries with Illustrations, Map, 127 Pages

This classic survey of Italian Baroque art and architecture focuses on the arts in every center between Venice and Sicily in the early, high, and late Baroque periods. The heart of the study, however, lies in the architecture and sculpture of the exhilarating years of Roman High Baroque, when Bernini, Borromini, and Cortona were all at work under a series of enlightened popes. Wittkower’s text is now accompanied by a critical introduction and substantial new bibliography. This edition—now published in three volumes—will also include color illustrations for the first time.

The Baroque, for many the most thrilling architectural style ever created, was born in Rome and reached its apogee in the work of three geniuses born in the 1590s—Bernini, Borromini and Pietro da Cortona. Perhaps the greatest student of the style was Anthony Blunt, who spent a lifetime studying and teaching the work of these architects and their importance to us now. This elegant and concise introduction to the style and its flowering in Rome was first published in an anthology of essays in 1978, not long before Blunt died, and represents a summation of his teaching. It is republished here separately, copiously illustrated with contemporary engraved views and measured drawings. Many of these ravishing images have not been republished since the beginning of the 18th century.
