This engraving by Wendel Dietterlin, created between 1593 and 1595, depicts an architectural fantasy of a building featuring both the Composite and Ionic orders. The image focuses on the intricate details of the upper two floors, showcasing an array of columns, pilasters, and decorative elements. The inclusion of a Caryatid, a sculpted female figure, further emphasizes the blend of classical influences and Mannerist embellishment. The composition's depth and meticulous detail are typical of Dietterlin's architectural drawings, which often served as models for aspiring builders and craftsmen. This engraving, a testament to the artist's mastery of architectural design and representation, remains a captivating example of the rich interplay between classical and Mannerist artistic sensibilities in 16th-century Europe.
