Robert Adam 

A Neo-Classicial Genius

Robert Adam was an extraordinary man;  his sense, understanding and interpretation of colour still reverberates today. He went off to visit Rome in the late 18th century as part of his studies ( the Grand Tour), stayed for 5 years and returned with extraordinarily influential ideas on architecture, interiors and decoration.
