Francesco Sabatini’s project for the throne room at the Royal Palace of Madrid ; El salón del trono de Carlos IV en el Palacio Real de Madrid por Francisco Sabatini

As Charles IV had his Royal Palace in Madrid wholly redecorated in the early 1790 by his court architect Francesco Sabatini, the Throne Room had to become the most splendid of the renovated spaces. Its walls were to be fully covered with Spanish marbles and gilt bronze. The project, apparently conceived in 1794, was finally approved in 1796, and the work began immediately but was interrupted in 1798 when the main pieces of marble were in Madrid yet and the goldsmiths Giardoni and Leprince were on their task.

As Charles IV had his Royal Palace in Madrid wholly redecorated in the early 1790 by his court architect Francesco Sabatini, the Throne Room had to become the most splendid of the renovated spaces. Its walls were to be fully covered with Spanish marbles and gilt bronze. The project, apparently conceived in 1794, was finally approved in 1796, and the work began immediately but was interrupted in 1798 when the main pieces of marble were in Madrid yet and the goldsmiths Giardoni and Leprince were on their task. The original plans were lost; however, Sabatini’s accurate instructions have made possible a graphic reconstitution which brings back to light what would have been the most magnificent room of the Spanish neo-classicism. ; Dentro de la renovación decorativa del Palacio Real de Madrid encargada por Carlos IV a su arquitecto Francisco Sabatini a principios de la década de 1790, la sala más espectacular iba a ser, lógicamente, el Salón del Trono, todo de mármoles españoles y bronce dorado a fuego. El proyecto, iniciado al parecer en 1794 pero definitivamente aprobado en 1796, empezó a realizarse, pero se interrumpió en 1798 cuando gran parte del mármol estaba en Madrid y el trabajo en metal iniciado por Giardoni y Leprince. Aunque los diseños originales se han perdido, la minuciosa memoria de Sabatini para el broncista ha permitido elaborar una exacta reconstitución gráfica que rescata del olvido lo que hubiera sido el más magnífico interior neoclásico español.
