ルーヴル宮の設計に対するコルベールの考え方及びベルニーニ来仏までの経緯 : 「騎士ベルニーニのフランス旅行日記」に見られるベルニーニのルーヴル宮設計活動 その1

抄録

This paper deals with Colbert's thought on the architecture of the Louvre palace before Bernini's arrival in France. Colbert consulted many French and Italian architects demanding for reasonable ideas about the design. And he chose Bernini's design sent from Rome. But Colbert wrote to Bernini detailed observations and required him to revise the design. Colbert's efforts suggests that he tried to turn the process of design into an accumulation of clear and reasonable decisions so that he could easily intervene in the process and administer it.
