Jerónimo de la Gándara (1825–1877) was a Spanish architect who designed a number of public buildings during the reign of Isabella II of Spain. ==Biography== Jerónimo de la Gándara was born in 1825 in Ceceñas, Cantabria. He was a student of Antonio de Zabaleta. In 1848 he graduated as the first in his class from the Special School of Architecture of Madrid. He undertook further studies in Germany and the United Kingdom, and traveled throughout Europe. He was the first Spanish architect to gain first hand knowledge of the ruins of the Parthenon of Athens, making a drawing of their plans. In 1853 Jerónimo de la Gándara became a teacher in the Madrid School of Architecture, where he became a Professor in 1855 and held academic positions until 1873. Gándara was a member of the commission that investigated Spanish monuments and reported their findings in the major illustrated book ''Monumentos arquitectonicos de Espana'' published by the state in 1859, with text in Spanish and French. In this role, he was involved in excavations, exploring ruins in central Spain that predated the Al-Andalus period, some from the time of the emperor Justinian I and his successors. He resisted pressure to attempt to move ancient mosaics to Madrid from the site in which they were found due to the great difficulty of preserving them intact. 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「Jerónimo de la Gándara」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
