A fascinating look into the life of the famous Czech architect who fused Baroque and Gothic styles.At the turn of the eighteenth century, Jan Blažej Santini Aichel (1677–1723), commonly recognized as Santini, began his career as an architect in Prague and became world-renowned for his mystical Baroque Gothic architecture. In Jan Blažej Santini and His Architectural World, a new generation of scholars draws up a portrait of Santini and his gems of Czech Baroque architecture. From detailing the particulars of the everyday life of a genius architect growing up in Prague and studying under Italian architects to engaging with previous interpretations of Santini’s work, this book interrogates the true value of Santini’s influence on European architecture.
