Tuin bestaande uit verschillende parterres c. 1587 - 1640

This anonymous print from the 17th century shows a detailed aerial view of a Dutch formal garden, known as a *tuin*. The *tuin* is divided into a series of geometric parterres, with hedges, pathways, and topiary trees arranged in a highly structured and symmetrical design. The intricate layout, characteristic of Renaissance garden design, emphasizes order and control, reflecting the intellectual and cultural values of the time. The *tuin* is a testament to the artistry and skill of the garden designers of this era. This print is held in the Rijksmuseum.
