This album contains a collection of drawings by Juvarra, a celebrated architect who transformed Turin in the early eighteenth century. Some of the most impressive among the architectural sketches are designs for idealized cityscapes, occasionally so large as to require a foldout sheet. Often interpreted as stage designs, such drawings were also appreciated as artworks in their own right for their demonstration of both imagination and skill.
