Vaux-le-Vicomte (Est.1658) - a baroque French château on a 33 hectares (100 acres) estate with formal gardens along a three-kilometer axis. Built between 1658 to 1661 as a symbol of power and influence and intended to reflect the grandeur of Nicolas Fouquet, Marquis de Belle Île, Viscount of Melun and Vaux, the superintendent of finances of Louis XIV.
The château was an influential work of architecture in mid-17th-century Europe. The architect Louis Le Vau, the landscape architect André le Nôtre, and the painter-decorator Charles Le Brun worked together on this large-scale project. This marked the beginning of the "Louis XIV style" combining architecture, interior design and landscape design. Their next following project was to build Versailles.

Grand kitchen castle interior, for that time very modern equiped. The kitchen is opposite the dining room, but communicates with the buffet on the ground floor through the longitudinal corridor. Two lateral corridors were added in 1659 on the orders of Vatel, then head waiter of Nicolas Fouquet.
The basement is partly buried, which allows the establishment of a massed plan. A longitudinal corridor crosses the basement, occupied by the kitchens, pantries and officers' rooms..

Piazza Navona, Rome, was built on the site of the Stadium of Emperor Domitian, built in the 1st century AD, and follows the form of the open space of the stadium.
Fontana dei Quattro Fiumi, Fountain of the Four Rivers (1651) designed by architect Gian Lorenzo Bernini (Naples, 7 December 1598 - Rome, 28 November 1680), topped by the Obelisk of Domitian, brought in pieces from the Circus of Maxentius
Bernini involved his assistants in the execution of the fountain: Ganges (by Claudio Francese identified as Claude Adam or as Claude Poussin - two French sculptors who worked in Rome - according to R. Wittkower), Nile (by Giacomo Antonio Fancelli), Danube (by Antonio Raggi), Rio de la Plata (by Francesco Baratta) represent the four parts of the world known at the time. The rivalry between Bernini and Borromini is usually mentioned to explain the raised hand of Rio de la Plata (which you can see in the image used as background for this page), as if the river was scared that the church built by Borromini could fall on him, but the fountain was designed and completed before Borromini started to design the church.

The building of the church was begun in 1652 at the instigation of Pope Innocent X (born as Giovanni Battista Pamphili, remember the famous Portrait painted by Diego Velázquez that was such an inspiration to Francis Bacon) whose family palace, the Palazzo Pamphilj (1644-1650), also by Girolamo Rainardi, now the Brazilian Embassy, is adjacent to this church.
subsequent architects:
1652-1653 : Girolamo Rainaldi (Rome 1570-1655) + son Carlo Rainaldi, responsable for the Greek Cross floorplan
1653-1657 : Francesco (Castelli) Borromini (Bissone, Canton of Ticino 1599 – Rome 1667)
1657-1672 : Carlo Rainaldi (Rome 1611 – 1691)
1667-1668 : Giovanni Maria Baratta constructed the bell-towers, while his brother Giuseppe Baratta completed the grand entrance steps and Gian Lorenzo Bernini supervised the interior decorations

43, King Street, Westminster, was built for Admiral Russell, 1st earl of Orford, in 1716-17, probably to designs by Thomas Archer. The house is of brick with stone dressings, the painted stucco being added at a later date. The facade has four giant Composite fluted pillasters. The entablature comes forward above capitals with dosserets. The attic storey has a cornice, and its central section was raised in the nineteenth century, probably in 1871, when two iron vases were placed at either end (the edge of one can be seen here). This replaced a parapet that was ramped up to a central window. The windows in the outer bays (visible here) have segmental arches with keystones.

Robinson was interested in history. He expressed an interest in the history of industrial capitalism and the history of capitalism in general. When did capitalism begin? I turn to my well-thumbed guide and find: “The prelude of the revolution that laid the foundation of the capitalist mode of production, was played in the last third of the 15th, and the first decade of the 16th century”.
My interest in history has been re-awakened. I have some reading to catch up on. Meanwhile I’ll try to identify key dates . . . so, prelude to capitalism 1466 – 1510.
Nineteenth-century area railings and ironwork at the Rectory, 2 Fournier Street, Spitalfields. The house designed by Nicholas Hawksmoor and built in 1726-29 for £1,456.

Nostitz Palace
Mala Strana, Prague
built between 1660 and 1676 by Jan Hartvík of Nostitz, the Supreme Chancellor of the Kingdom of Bohemia
architects: Francesco Caratti and /or Carlo Lurago
The façade of the palace was enriched in the following years; in 1720, an attic was created with statues of four emperors between vases, which were probably carved by Michael Jan Brokoff (in 1887 they were replaced by copies by Jindřich Václav Čapek). The late Baroque reconstruction of the palace took place around 1760 and was probably ordered by Count František Václav of Nostitz. It was carried out according to his project by Antonín Haffenecker. Haffenecker added the main Rococo portal to the building and also founded a garden and a riding school in 1765
