The international conference entitled Diocletian's palace in the works of Adam, Clérisseau and Cassas – Split, November 27-29, 2014, organized by the Institute of Art History, arises out of the installation research project Dalmatia – a destination of European Grand Tour in the 18th and the 19th century (2014-2017) of the Institute of Art History, under the aegis of the Croatian Science Foundation. The conference is financed by the Croatian Ministry of Science, Education and Sports and the City of Split. Researchers from several countries responded to the invitation to explore the role of Diocletian's Palace in the work of Robert Adam, Charles-Louis Clérisseau and Louis- François Cassas, as well as the influence of Diocletian's Palace on the development of European neo-classicism. The papers are divided into four groups. The section subtitled Reading the Place brings together papers primarily devoted to the ways in which the space is understood and recorded in image and word, based on the direct observation of the monuments and their surroundings. Representing the Past, collects works in which the emphasis is placed on depictions of Diocletian’s Palace as sources for scholarship. From today’s perspective, they are an important document concerning the state of the monument of that time. Here there is also a contribution about the only extant specimen of the Livorno edition of Adam’s Diocletian’s Palace. The group linked by the subtitle Diocletian’s Palace and the Adam Style presents works in which there is discussion of the direct influence of Diocletian’s Palace on the work of Robert Adam, while Lessons of Diocletian’s Palace focuses on the later influences of the works of Adam, Clérisseau and Cassas about the Palace on neo- classicist architecture and culture, as well as on later periods and on the conservation of the Palace itself. |
