•    document: volume: plan + section; parti + geometry
Piazza Navona: S. Agnese, F Borromini, 1652-, and i Tre Fiumi, Giovani Lorenzo Bernini, c1650
•    Urban legend has it that one of Bernini’s personifications in the Fountain holds his hand up as if protecting himself from the imminent collapse of the façade of S. Agnese. While the relationship between Borromini and Bernini was tense, the fountain was completed before the façade so the apparent gesture was not intentional. See Baroque III, below, to see the real tectonic tension between the two.
Santa Maria della Pace, Pietro da Cortona, 1656-57; chiostre (cloister), Bramante, 1500-1504.
•    document: facade: the dynamic folding; and cloister: order + repose;

Baroque II: le ville di Roma:
Villa Medici, Annibale Lippi/Bartolomeo Ammannati, 1654-
•    <Vigna del Pigneto, Pietro da Cortona, b1630>

Baroque III:  rivals
S. Carlo alle Quattro Fontane, Francesco Borromini, 1634-84
S Andrea al Quirinale, GL Bernini, 1658-1661
•    We compared the Capella Chigi (chapel) at Santa Maria del Popolo and St Ivo alla Sapienza. Think, too, about the church façade and chiostre (cloister) at Santa Maria della Pace.  Now, with Borromini and Bernini close by, you begin to understand that, despite their common appropriation of classical motifs, their architectural intent is very different: Borromini morphs and warps his classically derived surfaces to shape and layer space in thrilling and dynamic ways.  Bernini, for his part, upholds the tectonic order of his classically derived forms, reveling both in the richness of their materiality and in the rigor of their construction.  Such is the very modern argument these two buildings present, and which continues to this day.

>>go farther: Palazzo Barberini, Carlo Maderno, 1625; completed by GL Bernini, c1630
