Roughly translatable as ‘mood’ or ‘atmosphere’, Stimmung plays a key part in the late‐19th‐century writings of German art historians Wölfflin and Riegl. Andrew Saunders, Associate Professor of Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania School of Design, studies the origins of the concept, which links rational perceptions of harmony with notions of emotional response. He examines the two writers' contrasting views of Stimmung in relation to the Baroque, and highlights its little acknowledged role in the inception of formalism.
