"Geometria" is a woodcut by German artist Virgil Solis, portraying the personification of Geometry as a female figure surrounded by clouds and a town in the background. The figure stands on clouds, holding a compass and ruler in her hands, and is adorned with flowing robes and intricate ribbons. Two cherubs assist her, holding a protractor and a set square, symbolizing the tools of geometry. The image is a good example of Solis's style, which combined Renaissance ideals of humanism and the beauty of nature with the technical prowess of woodcut printing. This artwork is a significant piece of the 16th century’s artistic and scientific landscape.
