Bath House from Hyperotomachie ou discours du son gede Poliphile, plate 69 from Woodcuts from Books of the XVI Century c. 1554 - 1937

This woodcut, "Bath House," from the 16th-century book *Hyperotomachie* by Francesco Colonna, is a depiction of a bathhouse with figures bathing. It is attributed to the French artist Jean Goujon, known for his refined and elegant style. The print displays a detailed architectural structure, with a domed ceiling adorned with intricate patterns, and a series of columns supporting the building. The figures in the bathhouse are depicted in a natural, unidealized manner, reflecting a humanist approach to art. This woodcut, now part of The Art Institute of Chicago's collection, offers a glimpse into the artistic and cultural values of the Renaissance period.
