This 1736 engraving by Joost van Sassen depicts a cross-section of a domed church proposed for the Botermarkt in Amsterdam. The detailed drawing reveals the intricate structure of the building, highlighting the vaulted ceiling, columns, and the towering spire with a clock face. The architectural style reflects the influence of classical and Baroque elements, typical of Dutch architecture during this period. This artwork offers a glimpse into the ambitious plans for a church that, while never built, demonstrates the architectural ingenuity of the era.
