Design for a Stage Set
DR1987:0070
Description:
- This drawing is typical of Desprez's designs for flat-wing stage sets. Flanking what would have been a large painted canvas set at the back of the stage (here decorated with antique buildings on the slope of a hill) are two rows of façades receding into the distance. These buildings were painted on a series of wooden wings placed in grooves or runners at intervals on each side of the stage. In more elaborate theatres, the wings attached directly to machinery housed below the stage. The wings could be moved easily in these runners, either manually or mechanically, thus facilitating swift changed of scenery. Desprez's use of the flat wing system may still be seen, in a number of stage sets, executed after his designs, that survive in the theatre in Drottingholm (see plates IX and X in M. Baur-Heinhold, 'Teatro Barocco', Munich, 1971)

DR1974:0002:031:001-055
Description:
- The three portfolios of this group are entitled: Figures et Statues (DR1974:0002:031:001 - DR1974:0002:031:024), Architecture Antique Mélanges (DR1974:0002:031:025 - DR1974:0002:031:043), and Architecture Moderne Mélanges (DR1974:0002:031:044 - DR1974:0002:031:055). -- Portfolio Figures et Statues comprises primarily drawings of classical figures and architectural sculpture from both antique and 19th century sources. Few of the sources of these drawings are clearly identified, with the exception of Genie de la Liberté from the Colonne de Juillet (DR1974:0002:031:016:003). There are a number of drawings of sculpture from the 16th century tomb monument of Maximillian I in Innsbruck (DR1974:0002:031:017 - DR1974:0002:031:023:001-003). -- Portfolio Architecture Antique Mélanges comprises mostly architectural drawings from buildings or monuments in Pisa, Rome, Tivoli, Naples, Florence, Viterbo, and Nice. Also included are a reconstruction of Pliny the Younger's Villa Laurentine (DR1974:0002:031:043), an orthographic drawing of the L'arc des orfèvres (DR1974:0002:031:032:001-002), and an interior perspective of an imaginary church, perhaps inspired by Pugin (DR1974:0002:031:027). -- Portfolio Architecture Moderne Mélanges comprises drawings which represent the classical tradition of 19th century French and English architecture (Bergdoll, p. 2). The French subjects include the Palais de justice, Amiens (DR1974:0002:031:044:002), the Louvois fountain by Visconti, (DR1974:0002:031:049:002), the Arc du Carrousel (DR1974:0002:031:053:001), and the Vendome column (DR1974:0002:031:053:002). English architecture is represented by Charles Robert Cockerell's Hanover Chapel, Regent Street, London (DR1974:0002:031:054:001), and late Georgian\early Regency houses (DR1974:0002:031:045:001-002 and DR1974:0002:031:046:001-002). The drawings related to Amiens Cathedral (DR1974:0002:031:044:001-002) and the Cloaca Maxima (DR1974:0002:031:052:002) are notable exceptions to the contemporary contents of the folder.
