 The Jean-Augustin Renard (1744-1807) collection comprises four architectural drawings on two sheets documenting three archaeological sites in Pompeii, a Doric Temple, the so-called Villa of Arrius Diomedes, and the Cenotaph of Diomedes. The drawings were executed in 1778 while Renard was studying in Rome as a Grand Prix de Rome winner. Renard, a French architect, was Controleur des Bâtimens du Roy just before the French Revolution, won the Grand Prix de Rome in 1773 and spent the years 1774-1780 studying architecture in Rome.
