Twee veelvlakken met een dodecaëder als uitgangspunt 1568

This 1568 woodcut by Jost Amman shows two geometric solids, a dodecahedron and a stellated dodecahedron, with a focus on their three-dimensional form. The intricate detail and precise lines highlight the mathematical beauty of these shapes, reflecting a Renaissance fascination with geometry and the divine order of the universe. The work is a testament to Amman's skill as an illustrator and a representative of the scientific and artistic inquiries of the period. This artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable example of the convergence of art and science during the Renaissance, offering a glimpse into the intellectual curiosity of the time.
