This detailed architectural drawing, created by Nicolaes Ryckmans in 1622, provides a plan view of the first floor of the Palazzo Nicolò Spinola di Luccoli in Genoa. Ryckmans, a Dutch architect and draftsman, uses a grid system to clearly illustrate the layout of the rooms, including the main hall (Sala), the smaller rooms (Fondighe, Cartile, and Salone), and the terrace. The plan, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers insights into the spatial organization and architectural features of this prominent Genoese palace, highlighting the meticulous detail of Ryckmans' work.
