Fontein in koepelgebouw 1755 - 1768

"Fontein in koepelgebouw" is an architectural drawing by Raux, created between 1755 and 1768. This detailed engraving depicts a public fountain housed within a domed structure, showcasing the elegance of 18th-century design. The drawing, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides a blueprint-like view of the fountain, highlighting its intricate details and the symmetrical placement of its architectural elements. The use of linework and shading, typical of architectural engravings of the period, creates a sense of depth and dimension, making the fountain appear almost tangible.
