Borromini Revised written by Anthony Blunt and has been published by Harvard University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1979 with Architecture categories.

At first glance, Borromini's architecture is a flight of Baroque fantasy, the product of limitless imagination. A closer look reveals an almost ruthlessly logical geometry underlying his creation. Blunt shows how the combination of revolutionary inventiveness and intellectual control gives Borromini's work its great appeal.

“The remarkable story of the two seventeenth-century geniuses. . . . A highly successful double biography.” —Booklist The rivalry between the brilliant seventeenth-century Italian architects Gianlorenzo Bernini and Francesco Borromini is the stuff of legend. Enormously talented and ambitious artists, they met as contemporaries in the building yards of St. Peter’s in Rome, became the greatest architects of their era by designing some of the most beautiful buildings in the world, and ended their lives as bitter enemies. Engrossing and impeccably researched, full of dramatic tension and breathtaking insight, The Genius in the Design is the remarkable tale of how two extraordinary visionaries schemed and maneuvered to get the better of each other and, in the process, created the spectacular Roman cityscape of today. “Entertaining. . . . Morrissey finely renders the intense rivalry between these two artists.” —Publishers Weekly “With clear prose and splendid touches of drama, history and architecture are both brought wonderfully to life.” —Ross King, New York Times bestselling author of Brunelleschi’s Dome and Michelangelo and the Pope’s Ceiling “Engrossing.” —Matthew Pearl, of The Dante Club “Genius in the Design reveals the dark side of 17th Century Italy with sparkling anecdotes and you-are-there immediacy” —Laurence Bergreen, author of Over the Edge of the World “Fascinating . . . a scintillating introduction to the Baroque.” —Iain Pears, New York Times bestselling author An Instance of the Fingerpost “Page-turning reading.” —Seattle Times Book Review “Morrissey illuminates the contrast between the celebrated Bernini and the anguished Borromini.” —Boston Globe

Meticulously researched over a ten-year period, Nick Mileti has pieced together a gripping account of one of the most famous, but largely unexamined, artistic rivalries ever---the one-sided rivalry between the architect, Francesco Borromini (the instigator), and GianLorenzo Bernini, the greatest overall artist in history. Without a doubt, a number of his startling, but logical, observations and conclusions will send Bernini, Borromini, and Baroque scholars scrambling back to their libraries and computers. Everything came easy for GianLorenzo Bernini---his art, his style, even his loves. A confidant of monarchs, princes and popes, Bernini was a more talented sculptor and architect than Michelangelo, more successful with the ladies than Raphael, cooler than Guido Reni, and had more common sense than Galileo. The urbane Bernini was a sought-after conversationalist, got rich from his art, and even dressed nice. Bernini has been called the sanest genius who ever lived. Francesco Borromini's life, on the other hand, was a daily struggle. His own worse enemy, he was one of the first afflicted with what is now called artistic temperament.' He was anti-social, morose, suspicious, quarrelsome, disdained money, and irritated everyone he felt was interfering with his artistic vision---especially his patrons. Worse, Borromini knocked on Bernini's door all of his life and came up with a handful of marble dust. What does one do when faced with the impossible (self-imposed) task of topping the greatest all-around artist in history? Here's what you do: For your entire adult life you try every devious, malicious trick you can think of. When nothing works, you kill yourself.

Dans l'histoire de l'architecture, Francesco Borromini (1599-1667) occupe une position très particulière. Il est l'un des protagonistes majeurs de l'architecture du Seicento, et notamment du baroque romain. On peut citer Saint-Charles-aux-Quatre-Fontaines (1638-1641), l'Oratoire de Saint-Philippe Neri (1637-1640) ou encore Sant'Ivo alla Sapienza (1642-1662) parmi ses constructions les plus célèbres. Artiste de la nouveauté, il déclarait ne pas être né pour être copiste tout en revendiquant une parenté avec Michel-Ange. Son oeuvre a fondamentalement changé le cours de l'architecture moderne. Les communications de Giovanni Careri, Paolo Portoghesi, Werner Oechslin, Jean Castex et Sir Howard Colvin, réunies dans ce volume, s'éloignent de l'habituelle historiographie ou des polémiques que le travail de l'architecte a toujours provoquées, pour étudier la diffusion de son art en Europe ainsi que son esprit complexe et bien souvent contradictoire.
