description

This study is aimed to the reconstruction and analysis of an unrealized project: the Grand Cemetery by Giuseppe Damiani Almeyda (1834–1911), starting from his original designs, drawn with pencil, ink and watercolor on cardboard. This project won two gold medals, once at the first Exhibition of Fine Arts in Florence, in 1861, and the other at the Exhibition of Fine Arts in Sicily, in 1863. The three-dimensional reconstruction of the model has been used to deduce the criteria of interpretation and perspective views, shaded or rendered, which have been processed trying to visualize the imagined spaces in the original drawings in orthogonal projections.
