Templum Idor Egito, from a Series of 24 Depicting (Reconstructed) Buildings from Roman Antiquity 1530 - 1550

"Templum Idor Egito" is an engraving from a series of 24 prints depicting reconstructed Roman buildings. Created by an anonymous artist between 1530 and 1550, this print showcases a detailed perspective drawing of a circular temple. The intricate detail of the columns, arches, and dome, as well as the use of perspective, demonstrates a mastery of architectural drawing during the Renaissance period. This artwork, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, serves as a testament to the fascination with classical antiquity during this era. It provides a valuable glimpse into the study of Roman architecture and the artistic practices of the 16th century.
