のプリントを購入する Portico with Borromini

The National Academy of Saint Luca has its current seat in a palace once belonging to the Carpegna family, near the fountain of Trevi. The building owes its fame and its good fortune to the work of Francesco Borromini who transformed the 16th century Palazzo into what it is today. First under Ambrigio’s commission, and then under the cardinal Ulderico Carpegna, Borromini modified the edifice that had already been enlarged and redefined in the early 1600s by Pietro Eschinardi.The changes made over the course of the XVIII and XIX centuries transform the building into a rentable palace, later a convent, than an office building. Nevertheless, Borromini’s intervention is still visible in the portico on the ground floor which opens onto via della Stamperia and the Fountain of Trevi and in the helicoidal ramp that connects the ground floor to the first and the second. To get to the ramp it is necessary to pass a portal, richly decorated with stuccos and located on the axis of the central entrance. The ramp that connects the ground floor to the first and the second.

Francesco Borromini: Life and Legacy

Early Life and Training

Born: Francesco Castelli (later known as Borromini) was born on September 25, 1599, in Bienne, Switzerland, to an Italian stonemason.
He moved to Rome with his father at a young age and initially followed in his father’s trade.
Self-Taught Scholar: Borromini was largely self-taught as an architect, demonstrating a remarkable dedication to learning through independent study and observation. He amassed a substantial personal library throughout his life.

Artistic Development and Influences

Early Work: Borromini began his architectural career working under Carlo Maderno, the architect of St. Peter's Basilica.
Key Influences: While not formally trained in classical art like some contemporaries, he developed a deep understanding of structural principles and geometry. He was influenced by the works of ancient Roman architects and mathematicians.
He diverged from traditional architectural norms, developing an inventive and distinctive style characterized by complex geometrical forms and manipulations of classical elements.

Major Achievements and Notable Works

San Carlo alle Quattro Fontane (1638-1641): Perhaps his most celebrated work, this small church showcases Borromini’s mastery of spatial manipulation and undulating forms. Its facade is a prime example of Baroque dynamism.
Sant'Andrea della Fratte (1655-1667): Known for its innovative use of light and space, this church features a unique concave façade and an elliptical dome.
Oratorio dei Filippini & Biblioteca Vallicelliana (1637-1653): Borromini designed both the oratory and library, demonstrating his versatility. The library’s interior is particularly notable for its elegant design.
Galleria Spada (1652-1653): This gallery is famous for its forced perspective illusion, creating a sense of extended space within a relatively small area.

Style and Characteristics

Geometric Complexity: Borromini’s designs are characterized by intricate geometrical patterns and unconventional spatial arrangements.
Dynamic Forms: He favored curved lines, undulating surfaces, and complex intersections to create a sense of movement and drama.
Symbolic Meaning: His buildings often incorporated symbolic elements and hidden meanings, reflecting his intellectual depth.

Historical Significance and Legacy

Roman Baroque Architecture: Borromini was a pivotal figure in the development of Roman Baroque architecture alongside Gian Lorenzo Bernini and Pietro da Cortona.
Later Influence: His influence extended to architects like Guarino Guarini in Piedmont, and his style contributed to the late Baroque architecture of Northern Europe.
Despite facing criticism from some contemporaries (like Francesco Milizia and Sir John Soane), Borromini’s work experienced a revival of appreciation in the late 19th century and continues to be celebrated for its inventiveness and originality.
Tragic End: Borromini died on August 2, 1667, from illness exacerbated by depression, ultimately taking his own life. His conflicted personality often hindered his career despite his exceptional talent.
