Architectural drawings of the >German Renaissance< have, with a few exceptions, remained unexplored objects. This is contrasted by the vast amount of surviving objects, of which roughly 8.000 drawings from the 16th to the early 17th century originate from the German territories. Despite being neglected for a long time, these drawings, however, convey a diverse picture of building in theory and practice, and are characterized by remarkable variations in their depiction of architecture.Aside from the various historical uses of the drawings, a closer examination can reveal the historical conditions for and the impacts of architectural drawing in general. The present study, therefore, aims to categorise the architectural drawings in order to extract their implied knowledge and to embed them in their respective historic discourses and epistemic systems.The main argument is that architectural drawings were not only tools for the design process of castles, gardens, civic buildings, or fortresses. Instead, they were part of complex communication processes, and were crucial objects of preserving architectural knowledge and invention. Architectural drawings should rather be understood as >significant objects< (" Bedeutungsträger") of cultural practices, conveying historic concepts of space and built environments.In order to determine the very diverse aspects of the architectural drawing in the Northern Renaissance, this study is based upon a select number of drawings from various regions of the German states and newly discovered written sources. Due to the lack of architectural drawings in the northern regions of Germany, the majority of the selected drawings are from the south and middle-east of Germany (e.g. in Dresden, Nuremberg, or Kassel).The lack of contemporary art historical studies on >German Renaissance< architectural drawings has made it even more crucial to focus on historic material. Therefore, this study provides written sources dealing with concepts of >drawing theories<, as well as the thus far unknown concept of a treatise depicting design processes and functions of architectural drawings.In order to rethink the >visual culture< of architectural drawings of the >German Renaissance<, this study relies on traditional art historical and historical methods (" Quellenkritik") to evaluate the written and drawn sources, and on methods of media studies ... Architekturzeichnungen sind nicht nur Medien zur Planung und Visualisierung von Architektur, sondern bedeutende Quellen historischer Entwurfstheorien, Entwurfspraktiken und Wissensproduktion. Während italienische Architekturzeichnungen etablierte Quellen der Renaissanceforschung sind, wird hier erstmals der Blick auf bislang vernachlässigte Zeichnungen der ›deutschen Renaissance‹ gelegt. Die vorliegende Studie untersucht sowohl die zeichnerischen Darstellungstechniken und Theorien als auch ihre allgemeine Bedeutung als Form- und Wissensspeicher. Der Autor analysiert dabei etwa die variable Verwendung der Zeichnungen vom Entwurfsmedium über das Rechtsdokument bis hin zur Prinzenerziehung und hebt den Stellenwert von Zeichnung und Zeichnungstheorie für verschiedene Professionen sowie das Selbstverständnis der Architekten hervor. Zudem werden erste Einblicke in die fürstliche und reichsstädtische Sammlungsgeschichte von Architekturzeichnungen in Kunstkammern, Bibliotheken und Kanzleien gegeben. Anhand von exemplarischen Fallstudien und neu erschlossenem Quellenmaterial werden so nicht nur neue Einsichten in die Funktionen und Semantiken zeichnerischer Produktion eröffnet, sondern auch übergreifende Fragen der historischen Wahrnehmung von Architektur in der Frühen Neuzeit verhandelt. Sebastian Fitzner wurde 2013 im Fach Kunstgeschichte an der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität bei Prof. Dr. Stephan Hoppe promoviert und war wissenschaftlicher Assistent am Institut für Kunstgeschichte der LMU (2010–2014). Zuvor war er wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter an der Sächsischen Landesbibliothek ‒ Staats- und Universitätsbibliothek Dresden (SLUB) im Rahmen des DFG-Projekts »Architektur- und Ingenieurzeichnungen der deutschen Renaissance. Digitalisierung und wissenschaftliche Erschließung des Zeichnungsbestandes von 1500‒1650« (2009–2010) und Mitglied des DFG-Forschungsnetzwerkes Schnittstelle Bild. Architekturgeschichte und Bildkritik im Dialog 1400–1800. Aktuell ist er Juniorprofessor für Architekturgeschichte und Architekturtheorie der Frühen Neuzeit in Europa und Amerika (1500–1800) am Kunsthistorischen Institut der Freien Universität Berlin. Beiträge zu seiner Forschung veröffentlicht er unter anderem in seinem Blog »ArchitecturalDrawings – Images and Representations of Architecture in the Early Modern Period«.

This two-volume catalogue is the second part of the catalogue raisonné devoted to architectural and topographical drawings from the Paper Museum commissioned and collected by Cassiano dal Pozzo (1588-1657) and his younger brother Carlo Antonio (1606-89). The first Part (A.IX), published in 2004, was dedicated to drawings of ancient Roman topography and architecture; this one covers Renaissance and seventeenth-century architectural drawings.These are now divided between the Royal Library at Windsor Castle, the British Museum and numerous other collections. Bringing them together emphasises the range and quality of the collection, and their comprehensive coverage of Renaissance architecture, including churches, palaces, villas and military fortifications, as well as designs for architectural fitments and decorative schemes. Many of these are live project drawings from the hands, workshops or immediate circles of distinguished sixteenth- and seventeenth-century architects, including Raphael, Giulio Romano, Antonio da Sangallo the Younger and Gianlorenzo Bernini. As such they are connected with some of the most important buildings constructed or remodelled during this period, among them St Peter's and St John Lateran in Rome and the princely palaces in Mantua, Piacenza and Granada in Spain. A smaller group of drawings is associated with architectural theory and includes a remarkable series of façade schemes here attributed to Sebastiano Serlio.The introductory essay in Volume One explores the distinctive character of this part of the dal Pozzo collection. It is followed by the catalogue entries, grouped into schemes for whole buildings, with the plans and elevations (or both) of ecclesiastical and secular works arranged according to their location in Italy or, occasionally, France, Spain and elsewhere. Volume Two is principally concerned with architectural fitments, such as church furnishings, doorways and chimneys, as well as painted decorations and carved ornaments. It then moves to military subjects, cataloguing drawings of fortifications, sieges and related subjects, followed by drawings of topographical views and two drawings, omitted in A.IX, of ancient decorative designs.
