Robert Adam and his brother James established themselves as the leading architects of the period. Robert maintained a parallel interest in landscape, indeed Robert conceived his buildings in conjunction with their surroundings. Like his contemporaries he was fascinated by the Picturesque and the emotional responses that landscape could produce. The idealised landscape drawings that Robert produced formed part of this interest and were highly regarded during his lifetime.
