Personificatie van Geometrie 1640 - 1708

"Personificatie van Geometrie" is an etching by Lucas Kilian, a Dutch artist who lived from 1579 to 1637. This artwork, currently housed at the Rijksmuseum, depicts a woman in flowing drapery holding various geometric tools, symbolizing the discipline of geometry. The female figure stands on a pedestal with "GEOMETRIA" inscribed beneath, further emphasizing the subject matter. This print exemplifies Kilian's skillful rendering of both the human form and the precision of tools, making it a compelling example of allegorical art.
