This book brings together a number of important older texts and three new, unpublished essays on the work and reception of the Baroque architect Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. The focus is on the Zagreb drawings for his book Entwurff einer Historischen Architectur (1721) as well as churches in Salzburg and the State Hall of the Court Library in Vienna. Additional subjects examined are his "English connections" and the work of his first monographer, Albert Ilg.
Including more than 6,000 titles, the bibliography represents the full spectrum of research on the life and work of the Baroque architects Johann Bernhard and Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach. The first bibliography on Fischer von Erlach, published over 35 years ago, has now been more than tripled in size; it is arranged thematically and chronologically and also includes contributions of a more general nature on Austrian Baroque architecture. For the first time, both beginners and experts are thus provided with an important aid to research. The bibliography is supplemented by a volume of essays bringing together Andreas Kreul’s older and more recent writing on Fischer von Erlach.
