Colen Campbell Sold at Auction Prices

b. 1676 - d. 1729

Colen Campbell (15 June 1676 – 13 September 1729) was a pioneering Scottish architect and architectural writer, credited as a founder of the Georgian style. For most of his career, he resided in Italy and England.

A descendant of the Campbells of Cawdor Castle, he is believed to be the Colinus Campbell who graduated from the University of Edinburgh in July 1695. He initially trained as a lawyer, being admitted to the Faculty of Advocates on 29 July 1702.

He had travelled in Italy from 1695–1702 and is believed to be the Colinus Campbell who signed the visitor's book at the University of Padua in 1697. He is believed to have trained in and studied architecture under James Smith, this belief is strengthened by Campbell owning several drawings of buildings designed by Smith.

Vitruvius Britannicus, ou l'Architecte britannique, contenant les plans, élévations et sections des bâtiments réguliers tant particuliers que publics de la Grande Bretagne...Londres : sans date [Tome 3 : Londres, 1731]. Bel exemplaire des trois premiers volumes de l'oeuvre majeure de Colen Campbell, "manifeste du palladianisme britannique" (Connor). Aujourd'hui considéré comme "le livre d'architecture britannique du XVIIIe siècle le plus célèbre et le plus consulté" (Millard 46), le processus éditorial du Vitruvius Britannicus a été mouvementé et dificile. Les coûts engendrés par une telle publication ont découragé plusieurs éditeurs. L'arrivée parmi les investisseurs de Joseph Smith, fameux marchand de gravures londonien, a certainement rassuré les autres, misant sur le fait que sa réputation sufirait à convaincre les potentiels souscripteurs du sérieux de l'entreprise. Les deux volumes prévus à l'origine se distinguent des autres publications de l'époque par l'absence de vues en perspective, au proft d'élévations et de plans. T.P. Connor, "The making of 'Vitruvius Britannicus'" in Architectural History, 20, 1977, pp. 14-30 ; Millard, British Books, pp. 45-63. 3 vol. in-folio (462 x 286 mm). 232 planches, dont 64 à double page ou dépliantes.

PROVENANCE: A Charleston SC Private Estate.Colen Campbell (1676-1729) was a pioneering Scottish architect who spent most of his career in England, and is credited as a founder of the Georgian style. A descendent of the Campbells of Cawdor Castle, he initially trained as a lawyer, and then studied architecture. His major published work, Vitruvius Britannicus, appeared in three volumes between 1715 and 1725. Further volumes using the successful title were assembled by Woolfe and Gandon, and published in 1767 and 1771. Vitruvius Britannicus was the first architectural work to originate in England since John Shute's Elizabethan First Groundes. In the empirical vein, it was not a treatise but basically a catalogue of design, containing engravings of English buildings by Inigo Jones and Sir Christopher Wren, as well as Campbell himself and other prominent architects of the era.
