Zeven halve portalen 1610

"Zeven halve portalen" (Seven Half Portals) is an architectural design by Gabriel Kramer, a Dutch artist who worked in the early 17th century. This print depicts a variety of elaborately ornamented doorways, showcasing the intricate detail and craftsmanship of the Ionic architectural style. The use of linework and hatching in the engraving creates a sense of depth and realism, inviting viewers to imagine these structures in a three-dimensional space. Kramer's architectural designs were widely admired and reproduced, contributing to the dissemination of architectural ideas throughout Europe. This particular print was created in 1610, just one year before Kramer's untimely death.
