Descrição
Resumo:Manuel Bradi was an outstanding and prolific architect who worked in Madrid between the last quarter of the 18th century and, less intensely, the first quarter of the 19th century. He is a very interesting character from an artistic point of view, but even more so from a sociological perspective, for he created and disseminated a type of rationalist tenement houses that became popular and a hallmark of the housing in Madrid for half a century. Furthermore, he drew up and lead important commissions by ecclesiastical institutions, where he initially was a follower of Ventura Rodríguez, but later he overcame his influence to become a true forerunner of Neoclassicism in Madrid through works like the Salesas Nuevas. We will briefly present the findings of our research on his life and some concise news of his very large catalogue of works.
