Schetsen van knoppen 1510 - 1564

"Schetsen van knoppen" (Sketches of Knobs), a drawing by Domenico Campagnola, is a study of architectural details. Created between 1510 and 1564, the artwork features several sketches of elaborately designed finials, possibly intended for a larger architectural project. The drawing, executed in graphite, is a testament to Campagnola’s keen eye for detail and his ability to capture the beauty of form. This delicate and precise sketch provides insight into the creative process of a Renaissance artist. The artwork, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, measures 169 mm in height and 250 mm in width.
