This thesis is a building by building i.e. drawing by drawing analysis of Domenichino's entire architectural oeuvre. Focusing on the aspect of imitation as a concept in art theory this examination is largely structured along Domenichino’s use of iconic architectural prototypes. Such a systematic approach was necessary to trace and identify possible sources. On this basis I was able to clarify historical and regional influences, and how imitative techniques of sources led to innovation. Thereby I established a system for techniques of imitation used by Domenichino. These involved fusion, monumentalisation, contrapposto, simplification, sculptural richness of architecture, illusionism as well as romanisation of the modern and modernisation of the roman sources among other techniques. As a result a clear picture of his personal stylistic preferences for architectural-sculptural richness emerges which is in some way consistent with his painterly and decorative works but also reveals fundamental differences with regard to regional influences. In light of this, an evaluation of the influences and manifestations of art theoretical concepts of the ideal and beauty could be considered. I contrasted Domenichino’s work with contemporary trends and compared it with the achievements of high baroque architects such as Pietro da Cortona, Bernini, Carlo Rainaldi and Borromini in order to establish his unique place in early seventeenth-century. In some cases I was able to point out connections of individual works to French influences and to the Bolognese Sebastiano Serlio.

The Planning and Use of Space in Irish houses 1730-1830

Much has been written about eighteenth- and nineteenth-century country houses, in both Ireland and Britain. One of the most important books among the wealth of information about British houses is Mark Girouard's seminal work, Life in the English country house (1978), that blends the architecture of the house (the style and the plan), with its social life. Girouard shows how the plan of the house was used by those who lived in it, and by those who visited it. To date, however, there has been no such comprehensive study made of the subject as it relates to Ireland. In recent years much scholarship has been published by Irish writers on various aspects of the house, in both town and country, and it seems like a good time to redress that balance somewhat. By taking just one hundred years (1730 to 1830) as a time span, this thesis is an effort to gather some of this together, adding evidence gleaned from contemporary inventories and literature, and primary sources such as correspondence, diaries, novels and travellers' observations.
