Bibliotheque de lInstitut: MS 1006, Charles Percier, Dessins et croquis faits a l'interieur de Rome (cf. Rev. Archeol. VI 1917, pp.229). Headed Croquis faits a Rome depuis 1786 jusqu'en 1791. These are beautiful drawings, in pencil, or pencil and wash, some precise, others more bravura. Starts with stuff in the Capitol Museum, and Conservatori (50 plates). Evidently for his own use, since the captions in pencil usually give only location, not subject. Then does Arch of S. Severus in detail, and other bits of the Forum. Then interesting plans, sections, elevations and views of the Horti Farnesiani (which he calls Villa Farnesina) at plates 86-116, including several highly-finished views, and lots of fragments of antiquities he has drawn therein;

- nothing in this volume on SM del Popolo, but try the other volumes on the next visit!

To see how the Attic neoclassicism in the Canova mold plays out in the cemeteries of France, cf. Le Normand-Romain 1995.

For the context of neoclassicism in architgecture, cf. Hanno-Walter Kruft, A history of architectural theory from Vitruvius to the present, London 1994, pp.706; cf. pp.257ff for "Concepts of the Garden" and pp.272ff for "Nineteenth century France and the Ecole des Beaux Arts".

Elfriede Schulze-Battmann, Giuseppe Valadier, ein klassizistischer Architekt Roms 1762-1839, thesis, Munich pp.98, Dresden 1939. She has looked in archives of San Luca, Vatican, Archivio di Stato. A short text but with a lot of tables etc., e.g. of his family tree, his life and achievements, and chronological lists of his works and the relevant literature (which I've digitally photographed), as well as of his archaeological digs - very useful!. But she should give complete bibliog. references!

For an index of the French push in Roman archaeology at this time, although he had fallen out with Napoleon over his marriage, cf. Natoli 1995.

Giuseppe Valadier, L'Architettura pratica dettata nella Scuola dell'insigtne Accademia di San Luca, 5 vols, Rome 1828, 1831, 1832, 1833 & 1834; most certainly a practical treatise, but one that continually has recourse to the practicalities of the Ancients where possible, e.g. for aqueducts, I.141ff (where he gives his students a good bit of their history and courses as well), for walls cf vol III & plates CCVIIIff, much ddependent on the antique; and for roads, III p.345ff, called Delle diverse maniere usate dagl' antichi, e dai moderni per la costruzione delle strade e dei ponti con tavoli, with hist recons of a section of a Roman road at Tav. CCXXVIII;

For the museological background to Valadier's excavations, Pommier 1993, and especially Olmi in the same collection, pp.299-333, as well as Pomian in ibid., 337-61 on Italian museums and French travellers.

Percier & Fontaine, Palais, maisons et autres edifices modernes, dessines a Rome, 1798 WHERE???

The scholars who interpreted the antique for the Maecenases were very important, from Raphael in the 16th century to Vivant Denon on the 18th/19th, whose key position as founder of the Louvre and as one originator of the scholarly investigation of Egypt put him in a keyt position (along with other such asd Percier and Fontaine, and of course Giuseppe Valadier), to spark new styles from the archaeology of old ones. cf. Brard 1999 for Denon and his milieu. This was an excellent exhibition, which made one tired as a reflection of the stunning range and vigour of Denon's activities; but I would have preferred to see it dedicated entirely to Denon and Napoleon: as it is, everything is a bit sketchy, even in a catalogue of this length and weight - although people who bring Canova's Cupid and Psyche from S. Petersburg can be forgiven anything, especially when they arrange it with all the rest of the 1808 Salon sculpture (and paintings);
