Duško Kečkemet ; Sveučilište u Splitu

Abstract

In his book Entwurff einer historischen Architectur, published in Vienna in 1721, in Leipzig in 1725, and the English edition in London in 1735, among the prints of many a famous world edifice the Austrian architect J. B. Fischer von Erlach provides his ideal reconstruction of Emperor Diocletian's ancient palace in Split and some of its integral parts. Fischer von Erlach's drawings and prints are in the National and University Library of Zagreb. Fischer von Erlach obtained data, measures and drawings from Ivan Petar Marchi of Split. These were made on the spot by painter Vincenzo Paterni, the central figure of the study. To a certain extent, Fischer von Erlach's work on the reconstruction of Diocletian Palace influenced some of his architectural designs, especiallv Karlskirche in Vienna.
