This woodcut print, created by Jost Amman in 1568, shows two geometric shapes, both derived from a cube. The first is a simple cube with a cube nested inside. The second is a cube with a series of internal cubes. The intricate details of the geometric shapes demonstrate Amman's talent for precision and his interest in mathematical forms. This print is one of many in Amman's larger series of woodcuts exploring geometric shapes, reflecting the Renaissance interest in perspective and scientific exploration. The print is housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, and it is a prime example of 16th-century woodcut art.
