Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt (14 November 1668 – 16 November 1745) was an Italian-trained Austrian architect who designed many stately buildings and churches. Among his more important works are the palaces for Count Schönborn in Göllersdorf (1712–1717) and the palaces for Prince Eugene of Savoy (the two Belvedere palaces in Vienna, 1713–1723, Schloßhof, 1729, and the Savoy Castle in Ráckeve, H, 1701ff.).

Famous quotes containing the word von:
“By the artist’s seizing any one object from nature, that object no longer is part of nature. One can go so far as to say that the artist creates the object in that very moment by emphasizing its significant, characteristic, and interesting aspects or, rather, by adding the higher values.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
