ADAM After Robert 1728 1792 and James ADAM d1794 d. 17ABAA

Ceiling of the Eating - Room

177717132London 1777. Copper engraving. Engraved by Roe. In excellent condition. An elegant engraving of the elaborate ceiling in the dining room of Sir Watkin Williams Wynn's celebrated house in St. James's Square London.<br/> <br/>Robert and his brother James Adam forever changed the face of British architecture by introducing innovative Classical design ideas. From 1754-57 Robert lived in Italy where he had a long productive friendship with Piranesi which was inspirational for both men. Adam's first book on Diocletian's palace in Dalmatia is clearly very like the archaeological investigations Piranesi was making at the same time of similar ruins. Piranesi's friendship and passion for Roman Classicism were seminal influences on Adam and the greatest single factor other than his own talent in the work Adam produced on his return to England. Upon his return the brothers launched their career by building the Adelphi from the Thames to the Strand in London which although not a commercial success at the time included one of London's most cherished buildings the Adlephi Theatre. Together the Adam brothers designed and built some of the most famous buildings in England including such bastions of English architecture as Kenwood House Keddlestone Manor and Syon House. To the interiors of their English country houses the Adams brought wonderful ornamental elements in niches lunettes festoons and reliefs. Their classically designed buildings were so numerous in London that they changed the prevailing feel of the city and established their brand of neo-Classicism as the model of elegance and importance. It is asserted that the brothers originated the concept of the uniform facade attached to the typical English row house an architectural device that distinguishes London buildings. This monumental contribution is evidenced in the Adams' designs for Portland Place and Fitzroy Square and these were used as architectural models for the whole city. The brothers brought their talents into other areas by designing furniture to complement their beautiful interiors and by creating and publishing a treatise of design entitled 'Works in Architecture'. The work was published in three volumes over an extended span of time beginning in 1773 with the final volume being published posthumously in 1822.<br/> <br/>Cf. Brunet I.47; cf.

Badeau wrote â€œI hardly dare intrude on you at this sacred momentâ€¦I am willing to offer my sympathy to you are your dear brother and sisters. Now while the whole country mourns I will not admit that after those who were closest in blood there is no who loved or admired your great father moreâ€¦than I. Surely no one had more peculiar opportunities to know the wisdom and the genius of your great father to test his full and loyal nature. My lifeâ€¦should for twenty years made me contemplate his career and the constant assistance he gave me byâ€¦the informal knowledge I hadâ€¦in him the solder was truly the development of the manâ€¦know not only the soldier by the man. He came towards Genl Grantâ€¦so magnanimous and so difficultâ€¦unsurpassed for freedom from moral defect. In all myâ€¦peculiar knowledge of his character and career I never found a manner a shadow of a viceâ€¦My heart has spoken in spite of me. I only want to say to all the sons and daughters of Genl Sherman that after themselves and the others closest in blood no one in the nation has better cause to mourn because no one has more cause to love and admire his memory. Your father and mother were both my friends and you will let me tell you all thatâ€¦â€. There are some additional words in anotherâ€™s handwriting. There are a few crossouts and two faint folds that affect little. unknown books
