Bathed in golden evening light, the Baroque architecture of Dresden’s Zwinger shines with timeless elegance. The soft glow of the sun highlights every sculptural detail, while the symmetry of the building creates a feeling of balance and grace. A peaceful moment in a place where history and beauty converge.

Time lapse photograph of the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte, facade facing the garden, Maincy, France, 2021

When lit in the right way and photographed using a zoomlens with a very slow shutter speed, the facade facing the garden of the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte (picture 1) seems to bear a striking resemblence to architect Louis Le Vau’s design for the so-called Envelope (picture 2) which was erected at the Chateau de Versailles between 1668 and 1670. This creation wrapped itself around an already existing and fairly modest hunting lodge build by Louis XIII decades earlier.
After Louis XIV had visited the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte in 1661, the architect Louis Le Vau, the landscape architect André Le Nôtre and the painter-decorator Charles Le Brun, who had worked together on this large-scale project, were commissioned by the Sun King to rebuild and further extend his Chateau de Versailles. Their collaboration eventually became known as the Louis XIV style combining architecture, interior design and landscape design in one grandiose apotheosis: nature becoming architecture and archtecture incorporating nature.

As so often is the case with my work, this photograph wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for the inspiring music of Jean Michel Jarre, - especially his 45 minute track “Waiting for Cousteau” - and Nils Frahm - in particular his brilliant live performance of “Says”.

Built between 1658 and 1661 for Nicolas Fouquet, Marquis de Belle Île, Viscount of Melun and Vaux, the superintendent of finances of Louis XIV, the Château de Vaux-le-Vicomte was an influential work of architecture in mid-17th-century Europe. At Vaux-le-Vicomte, the architect Louis Le Vau, the landscape architect André Le Nôtre and the painter-decorator Charles Le Brun worked together on a large-scale project for the first time. Their collaboration marked the beginning of the Louis XIV style combining architecture, interior design and landscape design. The garden's pronounced visual axis is an example of this style.

When visitng the chateau last weekend it was turned into an enchanting and fairytale-like castle with thousands of sparkly and colorful lights. It is christmas festivities like these that add an excessive garishness or sentimentality to an already lavish but perfectly balanced piece of baroque architecture. This extra layer of extravagance enables one to get some idea of what it must have been like for people back in the day to lay eyes upon the chateau for the very first time during the festivities of its grand opening in 1661.

As so often is the case with my work, this photograph wouldn’t have been possible if it weren’t for the inspiring music of Jean Michel Jarre, - especially his 45 minute track “Waiting for Cousteau” - and Nils Frahm - in particular his brilliant live performance of “Says”.

The Church of Saint John the Evangelist of the College of Funchal was built in the 17th-century by the Jesuits.

The church shows the transition from the #mannerist style to the #baroque style through the use of #overthetop decorations of #carved and #gilded wood #alters and #azulejos.
