Architecture and Geometry in the Age of the Baroque (review)
Baroque architecture of the seventeenth century, like all visual arts, music, and sciences of that extraordinary period in Western Europe, was founded on a complex faith that allowed its masters to believe in an immanent reality expressed in space. Baroque visual order, swollen by novel disciplines that expanded canonical structures of knowing, was still ruled by a comprehensive [End Page 785] if much disputed theological system. Studies of Baroq…

The Sun in the Church: Cathedrals as Solar Observatories (review)
Pilgrims, local devotees, and resident ecclesiastics were once the principal users of the great churches of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Modern crowds enjoy their architecture and artistic furnishings. J. L. Heilbron's remarkable book draws our attention to church users of a very different kind: early modern astronomers measuring the solar path to correct the shift of the ancient Julian calendar, and incidentally to confirm or refute deta…

Yet Luccarelli never quite makes clear what the forces behind this failure or this moral shortcoming were; he suggests, but does not fully develop, the complicated politicoeconomic reasons why the ideas of Mumford and the RPAA were never embraced.
