On the Drawings of Charles-Louis Clérisseau and Robert Adam in the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians

The latest issue of the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians features an in-depth study by Dr. Ana Šverko titled “'Studying & Drawing': A Neapolitan Trip by Charles-Louis Clérisseau and Robert Adam in Light of Newly Discovered Drawings.” Based on previously unpublished sketches, the study contributes to the contextualization of Adam’s early Grand Tour drawings, sheds light on the initial phase of the relationship between Adam and Clérisseau – architects who would later systematically document Diocletian’s Palace in Split in 1757 – and deepens our understanding of the concept of copying in architectural history.

This research is the result of work conducted under the project “Where East meets West”: Travel narratives and the fashioning of a Dalmatian artistic heritage in modern Europe (c. 1675 – c. 1941), HRZZ-IP-2022-10-8676.
