Topic 2.7
How did political power struggles influence Baroque architecture during its peak?
Rulers often used grandiose architectural projects as a demonstration of their wealth and power.
They led to a lack of funding for large-scale building projects, stunting architectural development..
Political instability discouraged architects from undertaking ambitious projects due to fears for their personal safety..
Power struggles resulted in most funds being diverted towards military endeavors rather than cultural ones.
