Cornelius Gustav Gurlitt (1 January 1850 – 25 March 1938) was a German architect and art historian.
Life
Gurlitt was born in Nischwitz in Thallwitz, Saxony, the son of the landscape painter Louis Gurlitt and nephew of his namesake, the composer Cornelius Gurlitt.
He was co-founder and president of the Bund Deutscher Architekten ("Association of German Architects") and principal of the Technische Universität Dresden, where he was also professor of art history and the history of construction.
He is regarded as the founder of art historical research into the Baroque, and thus as the founder of the conservation of historical monuments in Saxony. He often worked as a consultant with the architects Schilling & Graebner. From 1894 he continued the Saxon inventory work of the art historian Franz Richard Steche.
Gurlitt died in Dresden in 1938 and is buried in the Johannisfriedhof.
His son was the musicologist Wilibald Gurlitt.
