Two unpublished drawings, of Ventura Rodríguez and Ignacio Thomas, for the Chapel and the Palace of Arenas de San Pedro
Abstract
These two unpublished drawings, closely related to each other, with differences dates (1779 and 1783) and of signatures of authorship, one of Ventura Rodríguez, one of the most important and complex architects of the Eighteenth century (Reese, 1976; Rodríguez Ruiz, 2009), and the other of his followers Ignacio Thomas or Tomás, as is usual to know him in historiography (Sambricio, 1986). They are joined not only by their personal and professional relationship and their ties to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando, but, fundamentally in this case, these are projects for the same work, the palace thought-out by Don Luis Antonio Jaime de Borbón y Farnesio (1727-1785) for their collection and were passed their last years of his life, in Arenas de San Pedro (Avila).
