Re: Re: reorganisation and destruction of irish catholic churches

I meant to post these shots of Bruchsal earlier when you were dealing with great baroque and rococo altars and pulpits, but, in typical gunter fashion, I couldn’t find them.

I think the altar at Bruchsal is by Balthsar Neumann who used this combination of gilded capitals and black marble in the Schonbornkapelle in Wurzburg, pictures and drawings of which I can’t find at the moment.

This is a sketch of the outside of another of Neumann’s Wurzburg churches, the Kappele which is perched on a hillside over-looking the river and the city.

This stuff is virtually impossible to draw, how they built it, God only knows.
