ABOUT THE ARTIST
Georg Andreas Böckler (c. 1617-1687) was a German architect, engineer, and author. He was the architect of the city of Nuremberg and specialized in hydraulic architecture. Architectura Curiosa Nova was his main opus, a four-part work in one volume, published in 1664. Illustrated with 200 engravings, the decorative plates of the first three parts show the theory and application of hydrodynamics for fountains, water-jets, spray-patterns, garden fountains, and well heads; with elaborate and often fanciful designs for free-standing fountains. The fourth part includes designs for grottoes, garden pavilions, and architectural designs, including views of European palaces.
