Architectural Temperance examines relations between Bourbon
Spain and papal Rome (1700-1759) through the lens of cultural
politics. With a focus on key Spanish architects sent to study in
Rome by the Bourbon Kings, the book also discusses the
establishment of a program of architectural education at the newly
founded Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in
Madrid.
Victor Deupi explores why a powerful nation like Spain would
temper its own building traditions with the more cosmopolitan
trends associated with Rome; often at the expense of its own
national and regional traditions.
Through the inclusion of previously unpublished documents and
images that shed light on the theoretical debates which shaped
eighteenth-century architecture in Rome and Madrid, Architectural
Temperance provides readers with new insights into the cultural
history of early modern Spain.
