Abstract (en)

Argues that the only architecture that can clearly be defined as Baroque consists of a nucleus of mid-17th c. buildings in Rome by Bernini, Borromini, and Pietro da Cortona, all based on the Renaissance principle of exploring the dialectic between the Greek architectural orders and Roman wall construction. Observes that architecture of the Baroque period in countries of the rest of Europe is subject to specific local circumstances (hence, for instance, the failure of Bernini's project for the Louvre, which did not suit the French because it was based on Renaissance architecture).
