Ontwerp voor een tombe voor Jean-Jacques Rousseau 1778 - 1817

This is a design for a tomb for Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a philosopher and writer, created by French architect François Denis Née in 1778-1817. The drawing, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, features a serene, mountainous landscape with a towering obelisk and a classical temple nestled amongst trees, symbolizing the enduring legacy of Rousseau. The monument is a tribute to Rousseau’s impact on enlightenment thought and the arts, offering an idealized view of nature and classical architecture.
