Entwurff Einer Historischen Architectur (5 parts) 1725

*Entwurff Einer Historischen Architectur (5 parts)*, a five-part etching from 1725 by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach, is an architectural design for a mosque. The etching depicts an aerial view of the mosque, with its numerous domes and minarets, set against a backdrop of a cityscape. Von Erlach was a prominent Baroque architect, and this design reflects his interest in the architecture of other cultures, particularly Islam. The etching can be found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
