Titelprent met draperie en gezicht op een tuin 1631 - 1691

This title page print by French artist, Israel Silvestre, from 1631 to 1691, is a striking example of Baroque engraving, depicting architectural elements framed by a draped banner. The inscription on the banner references a collection of perspective drawings by Silvestre. The use of linework to create depth and detail, the classical architectural elements, and the ornate text, are all hallmarks of the Baroque style. This piece, a small-scale work measuring only 113mm by 158mm, exemplifies the meticulous craftsmanship of 17th-century engravings. The image showcases the fine detail and artistry of the etching technique, providing a glimpse into the technical prowess of the time.
