Gabriel-Auguste Ancelet (21 December 1829 – 3 August 1895) was a French architect who undertook various projects for the Emperor Napoleon III, and later taught for many years at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. ==Birth and education== Gabriel-Auguste Ancelet was born in Paris on 21 December 1829. In 1845 he entered the studio of the architects Lequeux and Victor Baltard. From 1846 to 1851 he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts. In 1848 he won a prize for his drawing of "a fountain for Algeria". He won the Grand Prix de Rome for architecture in 1851 on the subject of "a hospice in the Alps". Ancelet was a scholar resident at the Villa Medici between 1852 and 1855. In 1853 he drew a "Restoration of the decor of the porch of Macellum in Pompeii", making great efforts to accurately reproduce both the form and the colors of this unusual interior decoration. He drew reconstructions of the Appian Way, a military road built in 312 BC between Rome and Capua, drawing on the work of the archaeologist Luigi Canina and other sources. Since few remains of the buildings have been preserved, he was forced to draw on his imagination in depicting "an idea of the sumptuous and monumental characteristics that the road must have had." His work on the Appian Way was presented at the Exposition universelle (1867), where he won a gold medal. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gabriel-Auguste Ancelet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
