The Works of Adam, Clérisseau, and Cassas in a Photographer's Research: Deconstructing Nenad Gattin’s Portrait of Diocletian’s Palace Ana Šverko

In the 1970s, famous Croatian photographer and art historian Nenad Gattin (1930–1988) was the first to create an all-encompassing “photo-portrait” of Diocletian’s Palace. He photographed it after the majority of the archaeological studies that took place from the 1950s onwards had ended, when the appearance of Diocletian’s Palace was transformed into its current state. This paper is an attempt to explain the motives and the manner in which Gattin analysed eighteenth- century travel drawings of the Palace by Robert Adam, C.-L. Clérisseau, and L.-F. Cassas, in preparation for his own “photo- portrait” of Diocletian’s Palace.
