The reconstruction of the territories, devastated by the Ottomans, was carried out in the Baroque style in the 18th-Century. Intact Baroque townscapes can be found in Győr, Székesfehérvár, Eger, Veszprém, Esztergom and the Castle District of Buda. The most important Baroque Palaces in Hungary were the Royal Palace in Buda, Grassalkovich Palace in Gödöllő, and Esterházy Palace in Fertőd. Smaller Baroque edifices of the Hungarian aristocracy are scattered all over the country. Hungarian Baroque shows the double influence of Austrian and Italian artistic tendencies, as many German and Italian architects worked in the country.

By this time, Hungarian varieties of Baroque architecture had appeared, with several type of forms, shapes and decorations. Those that have became famous and nice, have been copied. That's why the Hungarian Baroque edifices make groups, based on similarities. The major kind of buildings included the Eszterháza-type. These buildings were designed by the famous Moravian architect, Jakab Fellner for the noble Eszterházy family. The Catholic Church and Monastic Orders built larger edifices.

Some representative Baroque structures in Transylvania (Romania) are the Bánffy Palace in Cluj, the Brukenthal Palace in Sibiu and the Bishopric Palace in Oradea. Besides, almost every Transylvanian town has at least a Baroque Church, the most representatives of which being Saint George's Cathedral of Timişoara, Saint John the Baptist Church of Târgu Mureş, the Holy Trinity Cathedral of Blaj and the Piarist Church of Cluj.
The centre of Baroque secular architecture was France, where the open three-wing layout of the Palace was established as the canonical solution as early as the 16th-Century. But it was the Palais du Luxembourg, by Salomon de Brosse, that determined the sober and classicising direction that French Baroque architecture was to take. For the first time, the corps de logis was emphasised as the representative main part of the building, while the side wings were treated as hierarchically inferior and appropriately scaled down. The Mediaeval Tower has been completely replaced by the central projection in the shape of a monumental three-storey Gateway.

Very much along the lines I was thinking of for Blackfen's minor basilica. Can we get someone to knock out a drawing in advance of your win on the Euro Lottery?
ReplyDeleteThank you for your most interesting Comment, Fr, reference the requirements for the proposed Blackfen Minor Basilica.
ReplyDeleteIt would be a great privilege and honour to provide an edifice of the calibre contained in the photos, above.
Therefore, I have sent a pencil and notebook (lined) to Eccles at his Blog, "ECCLES AND BOSCO IS SAVED" (at http://ecclesandbosco.blogspot.co.uk/) and asked him to knock up a pencil sketch for your approval.
I hope I have done right.
