Matthew Brettingham The Younger
Matthew Brettingham the Younger (1725 – 18 March 1803) was an architect. He was the eldest son of Matthew Brettingham the Elder and worked also in Palladian style. He travelled to Italy in 1747, where he purchased sculptures and artwork for his British patrons, including Thomas Coke, 1st Earl of Leicester. He returned to England in 1754. One of his patrons, Frederick North, Lord North, made him President of the Board of Green Cloth. North and Brettingham had met as young men in Rome. The value of the appointment fell after the passage of the Civil List and Secret Service Money Act 1782, and North appointed Brettingham deputy revenue collector of the Cinque Ports, an office which yielded an income of several hundred pounds a year. His architectural practice was largely restricted to working for his father until 1769, when his father died, and after that it was limited in scope. In the words of Howard Colvin Sir Howard Montagu Colvin (15 October 1919 – 27 December 2007 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

José Benito De Churriguera
José Benito de Churriguera (21 March 1665, in Madrid – 2 March 1725, in Madrid) was a Spanish architect, sculptor and urbanist of the late-Baroque or Rococo style. He was born in Madrid to a Catalan cabinetmaker, gilder and altarpiece joiner, Josep Simó Xoriguera i Elies and to doña Maria de Ocaña, and studied under his father along with two of his brothers. His excessively decorated style, which can be described as an obsessively over-wrought '' horror vacui'' on any surface or facade, led to the adjective churrigueresque. He and his two brothers Joaquin (1674–1724) and Alberto (1676–1750) were recognized as the leading architects of their time. Works His works include or are found in the following: * The altarpiece in the church for Convent of San Esteban in Salamanca * In the New Cathedral of Salamanca. * The church of Saint Sebastian in Madrid * The church of San Cayetano in Madrid. * The church of Saint Thomas in Madrid. * The Goyeneche Palace in Madrid. * ...

James Bridges (architect)
James Bridges (born c. 1725) was an English architect and civil engineer working in Bristol between 1757 and 1763. He designed Royal Fort House (1760), rebuilt St Werburgh's Church (1758–61) and began the rebuilding of both Bristol Bridge and St Nicholas' Church. Life He was the son of Henry Bridges, an Essex carpenter and clockmaker, famous for his Microcosm. He claimed he was taught all he knew by his father, but also that he had viewed the works of the ancients, suggesting he may have done the Grand Tour. Bridges was a talented, personable and highly literate man, but when he arrived in Bristol in the mid-1750s he never claimed any previous work. He made several trips to London at his own expense to consult Robert Mylne and Sir Isaac Ware on his plans. Like his father, he seems to have been comfortably off. He or his friends and family must have put up bonds for his work: his successor on Bristol Bridge had to pay £10,000. Houses In Bristol he built The Royal Fort, a ...

François Dominique Barreau De Chefdeville
François Dominique Barreau de Chefdeville (1725 – 29 June 1765) was a French architect. Life From a good middle-class Paris family, Bareau de Chefdeville studied architecture under Germain Boffrand and one first prize in the 1749 Prix de Rome for a "temple of peace, isolated, in the style of antique temples". He stayed in Rome from October 1751 to August 1753, at the same time as Pierre-Louis Moreau-Desproux, Pierre-Louis Helin, Marie-Joseph Peyre and Charles De Wailly, and from there visited Naples with the sculptor Augustin Pajou and the rest of Italy with the painter Silvestre le fils. Returning to Paris, he got to know Ange Laurent Lalive de Jully (1725-1779), announcer of ambassadors and close to Madame de Pompadour. Pompadour wished to return to forms inspired by the antique and thus to renew the grand style of the reign of Louis XIV of France, in reaction against rococo. Barreau de Chefdeville died prematurely, at 40, and was replaced at the Palais-Bourbon by Antoine M ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Peterhof Palace
The Peterhof Palace ( rus, Петерго́ф, Petergóf, p=pʲɪtʲɪrˈɡof,) (an emulation of early modern Dutch language, Dutch "Pieterhof", meaning "Pieter's Court"), is a series of palaces and gardens located in Petergof, Saint Petersburg, Russia, commissioned by Peter the Great as a direct response to the Palace of Versailles by Louis XIV of France. Originally intending it in 1709 for country habitation, Peter the Great sought to expand the property as a result of his visit to the French royal court in 1717, inspiring the nickname of "The Russian Versailles". The architect between 1714 and 1728 was Domenico Trezzini, and the style he employed became the foundation for the Petrine Baroque style favored throughout Saint Petersburg. Also in 1714, Jean-Baptiste Alexandre Le Blond, likely chosen due to his previous collaborations with Versailles landscaper André Le Nôtre, designed the gardens. Francesco Bartolomeo Rastrelli completed an expansion from 1747 to 1756 for Eliza ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Peter Atkinson (architect, Born 1725)
Peter Atkinson (1735–1805) was an English architect. Biography He was born at or near Ripon and started work as a carpenter. He later became an assistant to John Carr and was employed at Buxton, Harewood and elsewhere. In 1786 he became responsible for maintaining York's corporation property, and subsequently took over Carr's extensive works in Yorkshire and further north. The Atkinson family of York architects continued after Atkinson's death. His son, Peter, himself had sons John Bownas Atkinson (1807–1874) and William Atkinson (architect, born 1811). Before their father's death, the two sons had taken over and for the next thirty plus years they were the most prolific of the city's architects. In 1877 William took James Demaisne (1842–1911) as partner. Works Among Atkinson's works were: * No. 18 Blake Street, York, c. 1789 * Monk Bridge, York, 1794 (later widened in 1924–26) * Hackness Hall, 1797, a large mansion for Sir R.V.B.
