Dubbele bokaal waarvan de deksel bekroond wordt door een tempeltje 1516 - 1556

This anonymous 16th-century print from the Netherlands, titled “Dubbele bokaal waarvan de deksel bekroond wordt door een tempeltje,” is a prime example of the Ornamental style. The work depicts a highly detailed and symmetrical design featuring a central vase adorned with grotesque figures, surmounted by a miniature temple. This intricate arrangement is complemented by scrolling foliage, winged creatures, and two candelabra. The print is notable for its use of perspective and its focus on decorative elements, which were highly popular in the early Renaissance. It likely served as a model for craftsmen and designers of the time.
