Lorenz Stoer and the Metaphor of Creative Power in Architecture
The aim of this paper is to investigate the possible meaning of Lorenz Stoer’s woodcuts from the second half of the 16th Century, as particular metaphor of universal aspects regarding creative power in architectural design of the Mannerist époque. There is an indication that Stoer used metaphoric language to present, in a pictorial way, important thoughts of his time concerning new aesthetic premises of contemporary architecture emerging from the Renaissance legacy, interpreting the importance of the geometry as the link between natural laws and creativity. Stoer’s pictorial reflection on philosophical aspects of aesthetic premises of new architecture of the time, can show the possible ways, how through a creative expression, new artistic values in becoming can be exposed and advocated.
