Although he failed to win the Academy grand prize, he went to Rome at his own expenses in 1785. There, he was able to take the classes of the French Academy in Rome, and benefited from the support of its director Fran\u00e7ois Guillaume M\u00e9nageot and eminent personalities such as the Cardinal de Bernis. In both his articles on the artist (\u00ab&nbsp;Un architecte fran\u00e7ais en Russie \u00e0 l\u2019aube du XIX<sup>e<\/sup> si\u00e8cle&nbsp;\u00bb, <em>Revue des \u00e9tudes slaves<\/em>, t.

There, he designed and built the Old Saint Petersburg Stock Exchange and Rostral Columns, and the Odessa Theatre (destroyed in 1873), among other things. The present drawing, signed, dated and located <em>Thomas a Rome 1790<\/em>, confirms that Thomas de Thomon was still in Rome in 1790, at least at the beginning of the year.<\/p>\n<p>The technique of watercolor over etched outlines enabled the artist to edit series of works following the same model, but always different thanks to the watercolour. These works were meant to be sold to tourists and amateurs as souvenirs. This technique was frequently used at the end of the 18<sup>th<\/sup> century by landscape or vedute artists such as Louis Jean Despr\u00e8s and particularly Louis Fran\u00e7ois Cassas, who happened to be in Rome at the same time as Thomas de Thomon and was also in contact with the Cardinal de Bernis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Thomas de Thomon Paris 1759 \u2013 Saint-P\u00e9tersbourg 1813 Study of a Roman Lady (1); Study of Two Roman Ladies (2), a pair Watercolour over etched outlines.
