Charles Percier (1764–1838) was one of the most influential architects and architectural theorists in France in the decades before and after 1800.
During his time in Rome from 1786 to 1791, he created a total of around 2000 drawings, a wide-ranging documentation that reflects the influence of new compositional methods and served both for his own training and as model material, and as such fulfilled a didactic function.
This largely unpublished material clearly reveals Percier's comprehensive view, which encompasses architecture, sculpture, ornament and gardens and spans a broad chronological horizon from antiquity to contemporary art at his time. These experiences flowed into an architectural theory that he anchored primarily in Roman palace construction. The contributions to the conference will shed light on various aspects of his oeuvre, primarily on the basis of drawings from his Roman period.
