Plattegrond en doorsnede van de citadel van Tournai, 1709 1709

This 1709 drawing by Jacobus Harrewijn (1660-1732) provides a detailed plan and cross-section of the citadel of Tournai. The artwork is composed of three sections: an aerial view of the star-shaped fort, a cross-section of the walls, and a perspective view of the building's interior. The meticulous detail and clarity of the lines make this drawing a valuable document for understanding the architectural design of the citadel. This drawing is an example of the use of technical drawings to communicate architectural plans, making it a fascinating piece of history. This pen and ink drawing is currently held in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
