"Fontein in de vorm van een tombe" (Fountain in the Form of a Tomb) is an etching by Dutch artist Joannes van Doetechum from 1568, now housed in the Rijksmuseum. The artwork depicts a fountain, with a man reclining on the edge, in the form of a tomb. The scene is set in a richly decorated indoor space, with ornate details and sculptures on the walls. The image is a fascinating example of 16th-century Dutch art and the blend of classical motifs with Renaissance aesthetics.
