Baldakijn met obelisk 1772 - 1780

"Baldakijn met obelisk" (Canopy with Obelisk) is an architectural design print by French architect Jean François de Neufforge, created between 1772 and 1780. The print showcases a detailed plan and elevation of a grand structure featuring a central obelisk, a canopy supported by columns, and a tiered base. The design exemplifies Neoclassical architectural principles, evident in the symmetrical arrangement, classical ornamentation, and emphasis on geometric forms. The intricate details and perspective provide a fascinating glimpse into the architectural aspirations of the late 18th century. This print is now part of the Rijksmuseum collection.
