This engraving, "Twee veelvlakken met een kegel als uitgangspunt," by Jost Amman, is a detailed depiction of two polyhedrons, each constructed from a cone. The image is from Amman's 1568 book "The Book of Geometry," which explored the principles of geometry through detailed illustrations. The meticulous lines and shading give the impression of three-dimensionality, highlighting the complexity of the polyhedrons' structure. This work demonstrates Amman's mastery of technical drawing and his dedication to communicating complex scientific concepts through visual language. The engraving can be found in the Rijksmuseum.
