Bilder Nikolaus Goldmann (1611-1665) – Architectural designs for residential buildings – Engraving (1696)

Beskrivning

"Nic. Goldmanns Bürgerliche Wohnhäuser völlig nach Seiner Beschreibung und Maas gezeichnet" illustrates various architectural plans and elevations for bourgeois residential houses. The engraving presents multiple figures showcasing the floor plans and exterior facade designs for urban dwellings. It originates from the architectural treatise titled Complete Instruction on Civil Architecture, published by Leonhard Christoph Sturm in Wolfenbuettel in 1696. The work demonstrates Goldmann's meticulous application of mathematical proportions to the ornamental and sculptural programs of Baroque civil buildings.

Nikolaus Goldmann was a German mathematician and architectural theorist who spent most of his professional life in Leiden. He developed a highly systematic approach to architectural design based on mathematical principles and the study of Vitruvius. Goldmann is best known for creating a comprehensive system of proportions that influenced generations of architects across Northern Europe. Although he died before its final publication, his extensive manuscripts were edited and released by Leonhard Christoph Sturm to become a standard reference in the field.
