"Binnentuin van een paleis met aan de façade standbeelden in muurnissen," is a 1568 etching by Dutch artist Joannes van (I) Doetechum, showcasing a meticulous view of a palace courtyard. Doetechum, born in 1532, specialized in architectural prints, often depicting grand Italian Renaissance-style buildings. This print captures the formality and elegance of a classical palace, with its symmetrical design, statues in niches, and ornate fountain as the focal point. The intricate garden, with its geometric layout and numerous small trees, further emphasizes the carefully crafted beauty of the scene. This etching exemplifies Doetechum's keen eye for detail and his ability to convey the grandeur of architectural design, making it a prized piece in the Rijksmuseum collection.
