Impost, vaas en altaar 1784 - 1785

"Impost, vaas en altaar" is a 1784-1785 architectural design print by de Saint-Morien, now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The print features three detailed architectural elements: an impost, a vase, and an altar, all depicted in meticulous detail. The print exemplifies the Neoclassical style prevalent in the late 18th century, characterized by its emphasis on symmetry, proportion, and classical motifs. This intricate design would have been used as a guide for architects and artisans seeking to incorporate classical elements into their work.
