Cœnotaphiorum (15) 1563

Hans Vredeman de Vries's *Cœnotaphiorum (15)*, a 1563 engraving, depicts a highly ornamented cenotaph, a monument erected in memory of someone buried elsewhere. The elaborate structure features a recumbent figure, cherubs, and classical motifs. It is a testament to the artist's interest in architectural and sculptural design, typical of the Mannerist style of the era. The engraving, held by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, highlights the intricate details and decorative elements characteristic of Vredeman de Vries’s work.
