‎Hersey George L‎

‎Architecture Poetry and Number in the Royal Palace at Caserta‎

‎Cambridge MA.: MIT Press 1983. The great palace of Caserta near Naples probably the largest building erected in Europe in the eighteenth century became an archetypal expression of absolute monarchy. It was begun in 1752 for Carlo di Borbone King of the Two Sicilies who worked closely with its chief architect Luigi Vanvitelli. Although Vanvitelli was one of the most notable architects of his century as Caserta was one of its major buildings this study by a leading scholar of Baroque and Neapolitan architecture is the first book in English on the architect and his masterpiece. The book offers a new view of the palatial and megapalatial in architecture. Although the monarch for whom it was built never spent a night under its roof Caserta was designed to provide the royal family and the court with a grand residence and more. It was also intended to house the offices of the government bureaucracy barracks a national library a university and a national theater - not only to symbolize but to contain the organs of a large modern state. Caserta influenced much that came after: plans by Boull�e for a new Versailles to return pride of size to France buildings in both Imperial and Soviet Russia palaces of the later British Empire even the Pentagon. As Hersey notes "if Carlo di Borbone could return from the grave and rule the United States he would move the seat of executive power from the White House to the Pentagon." The book also provides intriguing insights into the relationships between poetry - painted and sculptured allegories - and number - architectural planning that has become a geometrical game. It sketches the intellectual background of Carlo's conception emphasizing the king's mythical forebears and his love of mathematical order. It shows that the Neapolitan poet and philosopher Giambattista Vico influenced the king to incorporate such mythic figures as Hercules and Aeneas into his genealogy and Vanvitelli to introduce their likenesses into Caserta's art which is in turn integrated with the geometry of the palace's gardens and the numerical sequences of its rooms. 318 pgs. Illustrated. Decorative endpapers. Dustjacket has minimal shelfwear; in mylar. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Very Good. Oblong. MIT Press Hardcover‎

‎Architecture and Geometry in the Age of the Baroque‎

‎A clean, unmarked book with a tight binding. 6 7/8"w x 9"h. 274 pages. Many illustrations. "The age of the Baroque?a time when great strides were made in science and mathematics?witnessed the construction of some of the world's most magnificent buildings. What did the work of great architects such as Bernini, Blondel, Guarini, and Wren have to do with Descartes, Galileo, Kepler, Desargues, and Newton? Here, George Hersey explores the ways in which Baroque architecture, with its dramatic shapes and playful experimentation with classical forms, reflects the scientific thinking of the time. He introduces us to a concept of geometry that encompassed much more than the science we know today, one that included geometrics (number and shape games), as well as the art of geomancy, or magic and prophecy using shapes and numbers."
