Small architectural perspective views [graphic]

Vredeman de Vries, Hans, 1527-ca. 1604, Cock, Hieronymus, ca. 1510-1570, Doetechum, Lucas van, 16th cent, Doetecam, Jan van · 1562 · [Antwerp] : Cock excudebat · 15 pictures

A sixteenth-century engraved print series of architectural perspective views, published in Antwerp in 1562 by Hieronymus Cock and attributed to Hans Vredeman de Vries, made for architects, painters and craftsmen. The four plates show rotated street and palace scenes built from receding rows of arched facades, colonnades, domed pavilions and stepped towers, with fine cross-hatched line shading that a designer could borrow for perspective studies and detailed stage or street backdrops.
