Das Architekturdetail bei Borromini: Form, Variation und Ordnung im Romischen Hochbarock

Novel architectural details that subtly modify the classic canon of forms governing the orders of columns are an integral component of Francesco Borromini’s (1599–1667) oeuvre. He deployed them strategically in order to imbue his unconventional architecture with unexpected qualities in this respect, too, both in formal aesthetic terms and in terms of content and iconology.
