Gebruik van de passer 1690

Sébastien Leclerc's "Gebruik van de passer" (1690) is a detailed technical drawing demonstrating the use of compasses in geometry. The artwork displays various geometric shapes, including arcs, angles, and intersecting lines, meticulously constructed with the aid of a compass. The intricate gridwork and precise measurements highlight the importance of precision and accuracy in geometric constructions during the 17th century. This intricate drawing would have been used by artists, mathematicians, and artisans to learn and apply geometrical principles for architectural designs, engineering projects, and artistic compositions.
