Herrerian

Herrera style (Spanish: called Estilo Herreriano, Herrerianismo or Desornamentado style) is the name for a Spanish architectural style of the late Renaissance in the Counter- Reformation (ca. 1560-1620 ). It is named after the architect Juan de Herrera, 1567-1586, the construction of the extremely strict - mitkonzipierten of Philip II - headed palace and monastery of the Escorial.

Characteristics

The Herrerianismo is a strict and without ornamentation style where the building and the exterior and interior walls are largely free of kurviliearen line guides; on horizontal cornices, vertical wall conditions such as pilasters and pilasters or the highlighting of individual components by means or corner projections is largely avoided. Even windows and doors are often not or only framed extremely cautious - they act like cut into the wall. This extreme style view has however been strictly adhered to only a few buildings (eg Escorial, Palacio Ducal de Lerma ); elsewhere appear quite individual structural elements, but the overall style remains - in marked contrast to the previous, sometimes even simultaneously Plateresque ( plateresco ) - largely ornament and unadorned. Architects or architectural historians also speak of a " pure style ".
