Jacques Ignace Hittorff: A Pioneering Architect and Archeologist of the 19th Century This portrait captures the enigmatic figure of Jacques Ignace Hittorff (1793-1867), a German-French architect and archeologist of remarkable influence during the 19th century. Born in Metz, Lorraine, Hittorff's multifaceted career bridged the worlds of architecture and archaeology, making him a trailblazer in both fields. Hittorff's architectural designs were characterized by their eclectic mix of historical styles, reflecting his deep appreciation for the past. He studied under the renowned architect Charles Percier and architectural theorist Pierre-François-Léonard Fontaine in Paris, where he honed his skills in classical architecture. However, Hittorff's true calling lay in archaeology, and he became a dedicated scholar of ancient Roman architecture. In 1826, Hittorff was appointed as the Director of the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, a prestigious position that allowed him to further explore his interests in archaeology and architectural history. He led numerous excavations in France and Germany, shedding new light on the Roman past and contributing significantly to the fields of archaeology and architectural preservation. As a member of the Institut de France, Hittorff was a respected voice in the intellectual community of his time. His groundbreaking research on the ancient Roman amphitheater in Trier, Germany, and his role in the restoration of the Arc de Triomphe in Paris are just a few of his many accomplishments. This image of Jacques Ignace Hittorff serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as a pioneering figure in the worlds of architecture and archaeology.
