  • Architectural Temperance: Spain and Rome, 1700-1759
    Architectural Temperance Spain and Rome, 1700–1759 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 educa- tion 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 Through the inclusion of previously unpublished documents and images that shed light on the theoretical debates which shaped eighteenth-century architecture in Rome and Madrid, Architectural Temperance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 an insight into readers with new insights into the cultural history of early modern Spain. Victor Deupi teaches the history of art and architecture at the School of Architecture and Design at the New York Institute of Technology and in the Department of Visual and Performing Arts at Fairfield University. His research focuses on cultural politics in the early modern Ibero-American world. Routledge Research in Architecture The Routledge Research in Architecture series provides the reader with the latest scholarship in the field of architecture. The series publishes research from across the globe and covers areas as diverse as architectural history and theory, technology, digital architecture, structures, materials, details, design, monographs of architects, interior design and much more. By mak- ing these studies available to the worldwide academic community, the series aims to promote quality architectural research.

I was invited to join the ARTES committee in 2010 by my former teacher, Nigel Glendinning and it has been an interesting and rewarding experience to be part of the growth of ARTES and its promotion of the study of Iberian and Latin American art over this period. In 2013, Nigel died unexpectedly and although his loss was deeply felt by those of us he supported, it is wonderful to see his memory live Jorge Coll introduces Gabriele Finaldi and Edward on through ARTES and through Payne at the first ARTES/ the auspices and generosity of his good friends, most notably, Sir Colnaghi Foundation Curators in Conversation at John Elliott our Honorary President and José Luis Colomer, our Colnaghi Foundation’s Bury Honorary Vice President and Director of the Centro Español de Street gallery.
