Architectuur 1548

This 1548 engraving, titled "Architectuur," is an anonymous work from the Rijksmuseum. The image depicts a central figure, likely an architect, holding a set square and standing atop a stylized, architectural base. Two putti flank the figure, further emphasizing the focus on architecture and design. The intricate detail and linear quality of the engraving are characteristic of the Northern Renaissance, with its emphasis on precision and craftsmanship. This work is a great example of a design print and would have been useful for architects and designers.
