With its selection as the court of the Spanish Habsburgs, Madrid became the de facto capital of a global empire, a place from which momentous decisions were made whose implications were felt in all corners of a vast domain. By the seventeenth century, however, political theory produced in the Monarquía Hispánica dealt primarily with the concept of decline. In this book, Jesús Escobar argues that the buildings of Madrid tell a different story about the final years of the Habsburg dynasty. Madrid took on a grander public face over the course of the seventeenth century, creating a “court space” for residents and visitors alike. Drawing from the representation of the city’s architecture in prints, books, and paintings, as well as re-created plans standing in for lost documents, Escobar demonstrates how, through shared forms and building materials, the architecture of Madrid embodied the monarchy and promoted its chief political ideals of justice and good government. Habsburg Madrid explores palaces, public plazas, a town hall, a courthouse, and a prison, narrating the lived experience of architecture in a city where a wide roster of protagonists, from architects and builders to royal patrons, court bureaucrats, and private citizens, helped shape a modern capital. Richly illustrated, highly original, and written by a leading scholar in the field, this volume disrupts the traditional narrative about seventeenth-century Spanish decadencia. It will be welcomed by specialists in Habsburg Spain and by historians of art, architecture, culture, economics, and politics.

Leonardo da Vinci spent the last three years of his life as a guest of the king of France in Amboise, and the last masterpiece he produced was the project for a royal residence at Romorantin. It was to be a vast complex of buildings and gardens crossed by the Saudre River, and was to incorporate the old chateau of the ancestors of Francis I. "The eve of St. Anthony's Day I returned from Romorantin to Amboise, and the king had left Romorantin two days before," wrote Leonardo in January 1517. In 1518 a canal project at Romorantin was financed. But in the year of Leonardo's death, 1519, the project for the palace was abandoned and the king decided to build the castle of Chambord instead. The loss of the Romorantin Palace is comparable in magnitude to that of Leonardo's wall paintin of the Battle of Anghiari--perhaps even more tragic, for little influence could come from an abandoned work of architecture, the conception of which was soon forgotten. The remains of the portion that was built stood ten feet high until the time of the French Revolution. Mr. Pedretti has traced the records of their existence, brought together all possible references to the project in Leonardo's manuscripts, and identified the site of the proposed construction. The style and sources of the project are shown through a wealth of illustrations which bring to life the image of Leonardo's last dream.

Architectural Temperance written by Victor Deupi and has been published by Routledge this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2015-03-05 with Architecture categories.

Architectural Temperance examines relations between Bourbon Spain and papal Rome (1700-1759) through the lens of cultural politics. With a focus on key Spanish architects sent to study in Rome by the Bourbon Kings, the book also discusses the establishment of a program of architectural education at the newly founded Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid. Victor Deupi explores why a powerful nation like Spain would temper its own building traditions with the more cosmopolitan trends associated with Rome; often at the expense of its own national and regional traditions. Through the inclusion of previously unpublished documents and images that shed light on the theoretical debates which shaped eighteenth-century architecture in Rome and Madrid, Architectural Temperance provides readers with new insights into the cultural history of early modern Spain.
