12387 Leonhard Christoph Sturm (1669–1719) – Architectural Elevation of an Exterior Corner with Corinthian Columns, Pedimented Window, and Foundation Plan – Engraving (c. 1714–1721)
"Die IVte Formirung der Ecken mit doppelter verkropfung". This technical architectural engraving illustrates a sophisticated corner treatment for a Baroque edifice, featuring a cluster of Corinthian columns and a deeply recessed window unit with a triangular pediment. The plate provides a multi-dimensional analysis typical of early eighteenth-century theory, including a vertical profile on the left marking specific foot measurements and a detailed ground plan at the bottom indicating the stepping of the masonry foundations and column placement in modules. This work was published as Plate 47 in one of Sturm’s comprehensive architectural series, specifically "Prodromus Architecturae Goldmannianae," issued in Augsburg by the publisher Jeremias Wolff between 1714 and 1721.
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.
