This architectural drawing by Daniël Stopendaal, dating back to the early 18th century, depicts the proposed design for a domed church in Amsterdam. The drawing, titled "Plattegronden van de Oude Kerk met omtrek van het ontwerp voor een koepelkerk op de Botermarkt te Amsterdam," presents a detailed floor plan of the existing Oude Kerk, with an overlaid outline for the proposed new structure. This technical drawing offers insight into Dutch architecture and urban planning of the era, showcasing the desire for a more modern and imposing church space in the heart of Amsterdam. The design, though ultimately unrealized, reflects a significant moment in the city's architectural history and serves as a testament to Stopendaal's talent as a draftsman.
