This 1568 engraving by Joannes van Doetechum, titled "Stadsplein met in het midden een fontein in de vorm van een tempeltje" ("Town Square with a Fountain in the Form of a Temple in the Middle"), depicts a grand, symmetrical, Renaissance-style town square. The elaborate fountain, featuring a classical temple and sculptures, takes center stage, surrounded by elegantly designed buildings. The image, which now resides in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into 16th-century Dutch urban design and architecture, capturing a sense of order and grandeur.
