An essential and authentic work on the great Baroque architect.

This publication presents an updated catalog of Gian Lorenzo Bernini's architectural drawings, expanding the foundational edition published in German by Heinrich Brauer and Rudolf Wittkower in 1931, now translated into English for the first time.

Complementing the original text with essays based on more recent studies of the drawings and monuments, this volume will prove invaluable for anyone interested in Bernini.
