Façade met koepel 1772 - 1779

"Façade met koepel" (Facade with Dome) is an architectural drawing by Jean Pelletier, created between 1772 and 1779. The drawing depicts a detailed elevation of a classical pavilion with a central dome and a grand entrance. Pelletier was a prominent French architect, known for his elegant designs in the Neoclassical style, and this drawing reflects the influence of the classical revival in 18th century architecture. The drawing, now part of the Rijksmuseum collection, provides valuable insights into the architectural design practices of the period, highlighting the use of symmetry, proportion, and ornamentation typical of Neoclassical architecture.
