Synopsis

Excerpt from Gottfried Semper: Ein Bild Seines Lebens und Wirkens mit Benutzung der Familienpapiere

Bald nachher beschloss er seine Studien in Paris und trat seine Wanderjahre auf classischem Boden an, welche seiner gründlichen theo retischen Ausbildung reichliche Gelegenheit zu praktischer Läuterung ge währten. Ueber süd-frankreich, dessen antiken Monumenten er ein eingehendes Studium widmete, führte ihn sein Weg zunächst nach Genua, dessen in prachtvoller Disposition und malerischer Benutzung des Ter rains so unvergleichliche Palastanlagen einen tiefen und bleibenden Ein druck auf ihn machten und auf die Bildung seines eigenen Baustils mächtig einwirkten. Hier mag er zuerst die Ueberzeugung gewonnen haben, dass unser Zeitalter vermöge seiner ganzen Cultur und Bedürf nisse eigentlich nur eine Fortsetzung des renaissance-zeitalters sei, und dass es daher dem modernen Architecten vor allem obliege, die Tenden zen der Renaissance - Architectur, die sich noch lange nicht ausgelebt, wieder aufzunehmen und entsprechend unserer vollkommeneren Kenntniss des Alterthums, das ja auch die Führerin der Renaissance war, sowie mit Rücksichtnahme auf die neuen, ausschliesslich modernen Baubedürf nisse, weiter fortzubilden. Nie versäumte Semper, auch in späteren Jahren, so oft ihn der Weg nach Italien führte, sein geliebtes Genua wieder aufzusuchen, dem er so manche Anregung verdankte; noch als Siebziger fand ihn einst ein ehemaliger Schüler einsam in einem Palaste sitzen und Skizzen aufnehmen. Nur ein Zufall ist es, dass er seine Lebenstage nicht in Genua beschlossen hat, wo er anfangs schon bestimmt gedachte, den Winter zuzubringen.
