Drawing / Watercolor "Architectural Project Elevation" Luis Cervera Vera, 1970 - Madrilenian School
Exquisite elevation made by Luis Cervera Vera … more Drawing / Watercolor "Architectural Project Elevation" Luis Cervera Vera, 1970 - Madrilenian School
Exquisite elevation made by Luis Cervera Vera in 1970, signed in the lower right zone. It is an architectural project which presents a classicist building, with clear Herrerian ideals. Precise and technical drawing, carried out with pencil and various tools, such as rulers and scalimeters; later completed with colored watercolors.
Cervera Vera was an academic and historian, as well as an architect. In his field of study he focused on classical architecture, especially Renaissance, both Italian and later Spanish. He researched the basic treatises on architecture and showed great interest in the works of Juan de Herrera, a 16th century Spanish architect. This drawing represents precisely that, a construction of rigid mathematical proportions that characterizes the Renaissance style of Philip II's empire. Another important feature are the slate spires and the geometric decorative elements (spheres and pyramids). Herrera, in his way of doing, dissolves the figurative ornamentation resulting in the culmination of the architectural volumes typical of classicism. The influence of his style, initially called "desornamentado" and later "herreriano", will last for almost a century and will have an infinite number of followers.
The elevation of this building is projected axonometrically, i.e., the three dimensions of the building are illustrated.
