Rokoko-kirchen Oberbayerns

Baumeister, Engelbert, 1880- · 1907 · Berlin : Heitz · 32 pictures

Rokoko-kirchen Oberbayerns is a 1907 Berlin photographic survey of Rococo church interiors in Upper Bavaria, compiled by architectural writer Engelbert Baumeister for students and specialists of church architecture. The plates are black-and-white photographs of ceilings, vaults, and wall stuccowork, with frescoes framed by gilded scrollwork, pilasters, and window arches. A designer might take from them the rhythm of curling rocaille ornament, the cartouche framing of painted medallions, and the pale-and-gold palette of Bavarian Rococo.
