Mckenna Form- Stone Function- This building was dedicated to St. Charles Borromeo. Content- This building has a central floor plan, with four fountains in the corners, hence the name. Context- Located in Rome, Italy Change: Borromini worked in shades of white, unlike other Baroque buildings which had color. Interpretation- The equal sided crosses on the coffers of the dome, are associated with the trinitarian order. Artistic intent- There is a slight slope in the North wall to make up for the fact that this building was built on sloped land. Audience response- This Building was made, basically for free, because the artist was thankful for his first commission.
