12386 Leonhard Christoph Sturm (1669–1719) – Architectural Study of a Facade with Corinthian Columns, Pedimented Windows, and Sectional Plan – Engraving (c. 1710–1720)

Leonhard Christoph Sturm was a prominent German master builder and architectural theorist who dedicated much of his career to expanding and publishing the work of Nicolaus Goldmann. He served as a professor of mathematics and architecture in Wolfenbüttel and Frankfurt an der Oder before becoming the director of buildings for the Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Sturm was instrumental in disseminating the classical orders and Protestant church designs throughout Northern Europe during the early eighteenth century. His publications are regarded as essential records of the transition from late Baroque to early Neoclassical architectural principles.
