Kanselaltaar met het alziend oog 1705 - 1775

This anonymous 18th-century engraving, titled "Kanselaltaar met het alziend oog" (Pulpit Altar with the All-Seeing Eye), presents a detailed design for a grand architectural structure. The intricate, Baroque-inspired design features a central pulpit flanked by columns and topped by an ornate pediment. The "All-Seeing Eye" motif, a symbol of divine providence, is prominently displayed at the apex of the pediment, emphasizing the religious purpose of the altar. The engraving, now housed at the Rijksmuseum, is a valuable record of the artistic trends and architectural styles prevalent in the Netherlands during the 18th century.
