Rvins of the palace of the Emperor Diocletian at Spalatro in Dalmatia

Adam, Robert, 1728-1792 · 1764 · [London] : Printed for the author · 20 pictures

Robert Adam's 1764 folio of engraved views and measured drawings records the ruins of the Emperor Diocletian's palace at Split in Dalmatia, printed in London for the author and aimed at architects and antiquarians. The plates pair atmospheric ruin views with flat elevations and details of columns, arches and walls, giving a designer clear models for classical massing, colonnades and weathered masonry.
