19세기 미술관 내 성스러운 건축적 장치로서의 로툰다

초록

In the 19th century, museums as purpose-built institutions were designed to display and store artworks. For such museum design, architectural devices of religious buildings were used as the elements for the composition of space. For instance, a dome and colonnade – architectural devices that originated from the ancient era when religious ideas prevailed – can be found in the museum design by Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand in the early 19th century. This paper examines the idea that the use of architectural devices of religious buildings in 19th century art museums also resulted in the introduction of the sacred and symbolic character inherent in those devices. The use of a rotunda in Durand’s museum design and Karl Friedrich Schinkel’s Altes Museum are interpreted and analyzed.
