From the Enlightenment to the Digital Sunlight System : realistic visualization of Count Potocki’s Laurentine Villa : progress of the works

Abstract

Оver the last years new technologies have opened up countless opportunities for the world of science and building virtual (digital) worlds is one of most interesting among them. Methods employed in archaeological popularization may also be successfully used in research on monuments of a more complex character. Such an object is, undoubtedly, a drawing reconstruction of the Laurentine Villa of Pliny the Younger made by at least three skilful artists in the 1870s, commissioned by Stanisław К. Potocki and produced according to his instructions.
