"Twee veelvlakken met een bol als uitgangspunt" (Two Polyhedrons with a Sphere as a Starting Point) is an engraving by Jost Amman, a German artist known for his illustrations and designs. This detailed work, dated 1568, showcases Amman’s interest in geometric forms and perspective, a popular subject for Renaissance artists. The print depicts two geometric solids, likely based on Platonic solids, constructed upon a spherical base, demonstrating the mathematical relationships between shapes. This print likely served as an educational tool for architects and artists during Amman's time.
