abstract

Isidro González Velázquez’s experiences and works in Italy, sponsored by the monarch Charles IV with the purpose of studying the antiquities of Rome, are better known than those of the rest of the Spanish pensionados of the eighteenth century, thanks to the conservation of plans, drawings and documents of the architect in different institutions. Recently, the Real Academia de San Fernando acquired an important collection of drawings with measures by Velázquez, mostly related to classical monuments. This collection comes to enlighten the fieldwork system of Velázquez, and in general of the students of architecture of his time, the state of conservation of the constructions he was interested in (the temples of the Forum, the Theatre of Marcellus, the Forum of Augustus, etc.) and the professional relationships that he established in order to carry out the measurement of these classical buildings.
