Biographical / Historical Note
Gottfried Semper (1803-1879) was a German architect, critic, and
teacher who designed the Dresden Opera House and
contributed to the re-design of the Ringstrasse in Vienna. His book,
Four Elements of Architecture (1851) remains a canonical
text of the 19th century. He participated in some of the major architectural
debates of his day, including that surrounding the use of polychrome decoration in Ancient
Greek buildings.
Carl Freiherr von Hasenauer (1833-1894 was an Austrian architect and
key representative of the Historismus school. He was a student of August Siccard
von Siccardsburg and Eduard van der Nüll. With Semper, he designed the complex
of buildings in Vienna that include the Kunsthistorisches Museum, the
Naturhistorisches Museum, the Burgtheater, and the Neue Hofburg, which was
completed in 1913.
