La influencia mutua de arqueólogos y arquitectos en la representación gráfica de la arquitectura histórica desde mediados del siglo XVIII hasta el primer tercio del XX

Abstract

In this article we take the drawing of historical architecture as a starting point when reflecting on the mutual influence between architects and archaeologists. A great amount of nuances is discovered when analyzing the approaches developed from different disciplines when representing the monumental remains, both of ancient and medieval architecture. Depending on the training of those who did it, or directed it, draftsmen, engineers, architects, historians, antique dealers or archaeologists, transmitted different visions, sometimes clearly opposed and irreconcilable. Drawing always condenses not only technical training, but also tastes and interests and is loaded with extremely enlightening intentions.
