Piramide van zes mannen 1541 - 1545

"Piramide van zes mannen" (Pyramid of Six Men) is a 16th-century etching by the Netherlandish artist Juste de Juste. The print depicts six nude male figures in a complex and contorted pyramid formation. This etching is a study of human anatomy and movement, showcasing the artist’s interest in the principles of perspective and the dynamic interplay of bodies in space. The detailed rendering of muscle structure and the careful depiction of weight distribution demonstrates de Juste’s mastery of draughtsmanship.
