БОРРОМИНИ - основатель стиля барокко в архитектуре или история искусств за 15 минут

Francesco Borromini turned the world upside down, transforming architecture from a reserved, prim matron into a playful, flirtatious, passionate young woman. 🔻This channel is about Rome and Italy through the eyes of a guide: tours of Rome, fascinating stories, interesting art, and, of course, the charm of the Eternal City and other Italian cities. 🔻 Add me as a friend: ▪️Instagram   / gidporimu   ▪️Telegram with books and useful materials https://t.me/sinitsa_anna ▪️Facebook   / romaturismo.ru   My website: http://roma-turismo.com ⭕️I recommend watching ⭕️ AMALFI COAST: Amalfi, Positano, Ravello, and a guided boat trip    • АМАЛЬФИТАНСКОЕ ПОБЕРЕЖЬЕ: Амальфи, Позитан...   ANCIENT ROME: Interesting facts about everyday life Romans    • ДРЕВНИЙ РИМ: интересные факты о повседневн...   The Pope: Who is he, where did he get the keys, and how does Francis live!    • Папа Римский: кто он, откуда у него ключи...   ABOUT BORROMI Before Borromini, the ancient heritage, the correctness and proportionality of forms, were truly valued more. And then came a young man who, at will, bends space, makes facades dance and flutter in the wind, and creates optical effects that take your breath away. Not everyone liked Borromini, especially in conservative Rome. But no one could deny his talent. Where did all this expressiveness come from? Of course, from his restless nature. He was a true choleric, prone to anger, missing all deadlines, and erupting into scandals even in the presence of the client... Despite his talent, people simply feared working with him. Social skills and the ability to make useful connections were completely out of the question. That's why he always remained in Bernini's shadow, why commissions poured in one after another, while Borromini created his drawings for a desk drawer. He was so homesick for his homeland, Ticino, that he tried to recreate the waves on the lake caused by the wind in his façades. He was so seething within that even the space in his designs pulsates and undulates. He didn't have a single straight line, a single right angle, a single unthought-out detail. No matter how chaotic his designs may seem to us, everything was meticulously calculated and followed mathematical laws. He inscribed triangles within circles, ovals within octagons, and their number and shapes in Borromini followed esoteric laws. Yes, many call him a Freemason because they still cannot decipher his messages. In fact, he belonged to a secret society of stonemasons, the "Comacine Masters." They met behind closed doors in Rome, but all hailed from Ticino. Indeed, since the Middle Ages, it was its members who built all the important cathedrals! Just as mysterious as Borromini's plans, his death is also. He committed suicide, but remained conscious for several hours, reading his will. He ordered all his notes and sketches destroyed. Was he afraid that someone else would use his ideas or that his secret plan would be discovered so early?
