Wetenschappen en architectuur 1745 - 1755

This anonymous 18th-century print, "Wetenschappen en architectuur," is a striking example of Rococo-style ornamentation. The image showcases two elaborate designs, one representing various sciences and the other representing architecture. Both compositions are filled with symbolic objects, each representing a specific discipline or concept. For example, a compass and ruler represent geometry, while a book represents knowledge and a sundial symbolizes the passage of time. This print is a testament to the artistic and intellectual spirit of the Enlightenment period.
