ARH 9202 - Borromini & Baroque Rome

Institution:

University of Virginia-Main Campus

Subject:

Architectural History

Description:

This seminar will consider the architecture of Francesco Borromini as a lens into Baroque Rome. Broadly, it will examine the struggle to define the classical in the seventeenth century. The famous rivalry between Borromini and Bernini was not merely personal, but involved competing claims to interpret the heritage of ancient Rome. Bernini¿s vision ultimately triumphed, but it is Borromini who tests the limits of classical language.
