I cannot help but wonder how much some of the architectural drawings and theory of the architecture of Sir #JohnSoane and paintings of #JosephGandy were influenced by French #Enlightenment #architectural theory, including #Jean-Jacques Lequeu and especially #Étienne-LouisBoullée. For example, Boullee’s ability to portray interior illumination without illustrating its source. I think primarily of Boulllee’s Cenotaph to Sir #IsaacNewton which in the day the interior its shrouded in darkness but shards of light are provided by small opening in the the dome (think the Soane lanterns, mirrors and grills allowing light to penetrate to lower levels at his museum in Holborn) and at night a large hanging lamp which illuminates its interior (for example with the sarcophagus of King Seti I illuminated with candles placed inside). @BruceABoucher @SoaneMuseum
