Architecten en kunstenaars werken aan de bouw van een paleis 1640

Michel Dorigny's etching "Architecten en kunstenaars werken aan de bouw van een paleis" (1640) depicts a lively scene of architects and artists collaborating on the construction of a palace. The composition, framed by an oval, emphasizes the dynamic interplay between the figures. The use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and drama, highlighting the intricate details of the architectural elements and the tools used by the artisans. This engraving, a masterful example of 17th-century printmaking, offers a glimpse into the creative process behind grand architectural projects during this era.
