Though Hawksmoor left no body of theory to explain works such as St George's, Bloomsbury, and St Mary Woolnoth, Hart describes his intellectual interests and theoretical sources, drawing especially on his letters and on his library with its books on logic, law, metaphysics, natural history, and mathematics, its works by Fischer von Erlach and Descartes, its exotic travel literature, and its engravings of Baroque Rome by Falda, de Rossi, and Fontana. Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach is a key figure of the Austrian Baroque. Its scale and scope is unique: some 450 pages of text, 150 of notes, and 70 of classified biography, plus 200 illustrations, take us from Vitruvius to Venturi, tracing the route by which, say, the odd speculations of Juan Bautista Villalpando (Kruft's upward reassessment of Spanish theory is particularly welcome) find their way into the writings and work of Salomon de Bray, Fischer von Erlach, Pratt, Wren and Wood the Elder. |
