Excerpt from Papers of the British School at Rome, Vol. 2: Sixteenth-Century Drawings of Roman Buildings Attributed to Andreas Coner
The history of the monuments of Rome, whether classical or mediaeval, whether still existing or not, is difficult to write: to a very large extent the materials must be sought for elsewhere than in the soil of Rome, in the libraries and museums of Europe. Of especial importance are the drawings of these monuments made by architects, artists, and antiquaries during the period of the Renaissance.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a remarkable insight into the extraordinary variety and breadth of artistic work undertaken by foreign schools in Rome, in an era before archaeological excavation was commonplace. Focusing on the British School, this volume presents a collection of architectural drawings dating from the Renaissance, many never before published. Discovered by British scholars in the Soane Museum in London, they provide invaluable evidence of the historical monuments of Rome, whether still extant or otherwise. The drawings' importance is enhanced by the fact that they were executed at a crucial period in the development of archaeological studies, and this book places them within their broader historical and literary context. The result is a unique and fascinating window into the architectural heritage of Rome as seen through the eyes of some of the Renaissance's most skilled draughtsmen.
