Very nice. Bibiena. First edition of this richly illustrated work on architecture and perspective. The finely engraved plates show brilliant baroque compositions for catafalques theatrical scenes a series for the Passion of Christ in elaborate architectural settings and the decoration of the Riding School at Vienna for the marriage of the Archduchess Mariana with Prince Charles of Lorraine. The publication of “Architetture e prospettive†made a major contribution to the modernization of the theater establishing the so-called ‘scena ad angolo’ curved backdrops on Europe’s stages. The second son of the Italian architect Ferdinando Galli Bibiena Giuseppe Galli da Bibiena was to become a distinguished artist and designer of elaborate festivals parties funerals open-air theatrical performances and all manner of ceremony for the Habsburg rulers. He proved himself an excellent illusionistic painter with a deep theoretical understanding of perspective. These attributes coupled with an extraordinary imagination allowed Giuseppe to produce innovative often fantastic imagery. Among his early independent works were decorations for the festivities celebrating the birth of Archduke Leopold of Austria 1716 and an imperial wedding in Munich 1722. In 1727 Emperor Charles V appointed Giuseppe to be “His Majesty's First Theatrical Engineerâ€. Galli Bibiena also designed altars and pulpits for churches constructed a decorative arch in Prague and with his younger brother Antonio designed decorations for theaters. After Charles V’s death Giuseppe served the late monarch’s daughter Maria Theresia. Among his notable achievements in this period Giuseppe transformed the stables at the Hofburg in Vienna into a ballroom for the wedding of Charles Alexander of Lorraine to Marianna of Austria. In 1747 he was commissioned to design Margrave Frederick of Bayreuth’s opera house considered his magnum opus. At the time of his death at Berlin in 1757 Galli Bibiena was in the employ of Peter the Great. “Architetture e prospettive†dedicated to and with a portrait of Charles V was printed in the year of Emperor’s death and at the height of Galli Bibiena’s career. The work is comprised of five series of plates with ten plates each depicting funerary apparatus religious scenery “teatri sacri†and fantastic architectural views. “The range of motifs and views embraces topics that were of great interest at the end of the baroque era such as fantasy-laden reconstructions of classical ruins. In his designs the artist made use of various methods to make the architecture monumental working above all with views from below and cropped sections. In many designs he used the ‘scena ad angolo’ technique and in others in particular for the depiction of festive decorations for imperial ceremonies he used a central perspective as a dignified form… “One of the sets of engravings shows the decoration of the Cavallerizia the riding arena which was transformed in 1744 into a ballroom. The plates were made by Lorenzo Zucchi the engraver at the court of the Elector of Saxony in Dresden. The ‘theatro sacro’ and the stage decorations for the theater festival to mark the marriage of the future Elector of Saxon Frederick Augustus II are also his work. However most of the copperplates are by the imperial printer Andreas Pfeffel d. 1748… “The fusion of architecture and decoration in the two-dimensional medium of drawing is characteristic of Giuseppe Galli Bibiena’s designs… Giuseppe’s father Ferdinando in his book on architecture had also made an attempt to unite painting and architecture from the point of view of perspective using the special art form of scenography. In ‘Architettura e Prospettive’ Galli Bibiena elevated this synthesis of painting architecture and scenography to a form of art in its own right which had its greatest effect in the ‘staging’ of architecture in the service of absolutist power.†Biermann Grönert Jobst and Stewering “Giuseppe Galli Bibiena†in “Architectural Theory from the Renaissance to the Present†p. 156 ff.

This edition not in Fowler but mentioned in the entry for the 1648 edition p.82. In this edition as in that of 1648 the two books of the Nouvelles inventions have been added to the nine original books as Books X and XI. Fowler notes: "Of the three leading early French architectural writers de l'Orme is the most interesting and original. De L'Orme has been called the first modern architect." Hugh Pagan notes of his copy of the first edition 1567: "one of the most extensive architectural treatises of the renaissance period. Its author Philibert de l'Orme 1514-1570 having studied in Rome in the 1530s worked as an architect successively for François I Henri II and Charles IX of France but his most famous building was the Château d'Anet designed and built by him for Henri II's mistress Diane de Poitiers between 1547 and 1552. In the present book he begins by discussing architecture in general and the qualities needed in an architect and then turns first to building materials and construction and then to the classical orders of architecture including a French order of his own invention. The book concludes with a section devoted to chimneys and with some final remarks on architecture in general including well-known woodcut illustrations of the bad architect f.281 and the good architect f.283." In this copy an early reader has charitably drawn eyes and a single rather shaky hand for the bad architect. Chez Regnauld Chaudiere.. unknown books
