Twee veelvlakken met een icosaëder als uitgangspunt 1568

Jost Amman's "Twee veelvlakken met een icosaëder als uitgangspunt" is a 1568 engraving depicting two geometric solids, one in a simple form and the other with a more complex design. Both appear to be based on the icosahedron, a twenty-sided shape, and stand on elaborate, layered bases. The artwork's focus on geometric forms suggests an interest in mathematics, the sciences, and the Renaissance ideals of clarity and precision. The fine details and linear style of the engraving are characteristic of Amman's work, which was often commissioned for scientific and educational publications. The artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
