## Commentary

Whether it was the synagogue in the Seitenstettengasse, or the music room and ballroom in the palace of Duke Albrecht von Sachsen-Teschen - remodeled for Archduke Karl and today the Study Hall of the Albertina - Kornhäusel invariably showed a playful treatment of monumental columns and pilasters, coffered ceilings, barrel vaults, calottes, fitted galleries as well as a skilful use of light - elements which seem to go against the grain of his understated façades. It is Kornhäusel&#39;s interiors that, above all, challenge the faceless façades of the first decades of the 19th century.
