Tuin met centrale parterre omgeven door een gang van traliewerk en in het midden een fontein c. 1583 - 1640

This anonymous etching, created sometime between 1583 and 1640, depicts a meticulously designed garden, likely inspired by the Renaissance ideals of order and harmony. The viewer is presented with a bird's-eye view of a symmetrical layout, featuring a central parterre adorned with a fountain. The surrounding walkways and intricate hedges, combined with the geometric arrangement of the garden beds, exemplify the prevailing aesthetic of formal gardens during this period. The image, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a glimpse into the refined taste and appreciation for structured beauty in the 16th and 17th centuries.
