This print by Johannes or Lucas van Doetechum, dating back to 1574, depicts a round water well, with a dome, lantern, and elaborate surrounding structure, in the middle of an open square with buildings on either side. The well is designed in an architectural style that reflects the Renaissance period, featuring a prominent dome and decorative elements. The artist’s masterful use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and detail, emphasizing the intricate design of the structure. The print is a valuable historical artifact, providing a glimpse into the architecture and urban landscape of the 16th century. It is currently housed at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
