The theatrical nature of the Baroque is reflected in the works of Bernini, Cortona and Guarini, but in Borromini’s architecture a unified whole is conceived without the need for the metric division of bays and ships. Undisputable is the influence of Vignola’s design for Il Gesù, because it set a pattern for Jesuit churches until the end of the 18th century. Many famous German architects, like Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt or Johann Balthasar Neumann, spent time in Rome to be educated in the Italian tradition. Furthermore, their own and their pupils’ influence can be seen in the architecture throughout the lands of the Austrian Monarchy.
