- Short Description
- "Nicholas Revett (1721–1804) was a British architect. Revett is best known for his work with James "Athenian" Stuart documenting the ruins of ancient Athens. He is sometimes described as an amateur architect, but he played an important role in the revival of Greek architecture.
Revett is believed to have been born in Framlingham, Suffolk, although his family lived at Brandeston nearby. He was baptised in the Church of St Michael the Archangel, Framlingham.
He studied with the proto-Neoclassical painter Marco Benefial.
He died in London, and was buried in Brandeston." - (en.wikipedia.org 31.01.2020) - Entity Encoding
