Details of Groining 1500 - 1600

This anonymous drawing from the 16th century, "Details of Groining," is a study of architectural features, specifically the intricate details of vaulted ceilings. The work, likely created by an Italian artist, exemplifies the Renaissance interest in classical architecture and the use of precise geometric forms. The drawing's detailed lines capture the complex intersection of ribs and vaults, showcasing the technical mastery of the artist. Its small scale suggests it was a private study rather than a finished design, making it a valuable glimpse into the creative process of architectural design during the High Renaissance.
