Nicodemus Tessin the Younger belongs to the record of technology as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Nicodemus Tessin the Younger as Swedish architect (1654-1728).
Nicodemus Tessin the Younger was born at Nyköping in 1654. His recorded nationality is Sweden. He was educated at Uppsala University.
The seventeenth century built the machinery of public intellectual life - societies, journals, correspondence networks - and reputations could be made at a distance.
The record gives his occupations as architect, painter and draftsperson.
Among his principal works are Sturefors Castle, Stockholm Palace and Tessin Palace. Technical work compounds - each layer makes the next one cheaper to attempt.
That the work was done from Sweden matters. Opportunity has never been evenly distributed, and where a person is based shapes which doors open and whose work gets seen.
Nicodemus Tessin the Younger died in 1728 at the age of 74. The work outlived the arguments around it.
