DR1987:0345
Description:
- This engraving depicts a design for an order of architecture showing the capital and the base. Although the inscriptions refer to "This engraving depicts a dORICA[E]", this is not one of the traditional orders of architecture. - This print is one of a set of four prints of capitals and bases which were engraved by Hans Sebald Beham. Patricia Condon suggests that these prints were made for a general audience rather than for architects ('Ornament and Architecture', 29). Three of the prints in the CCA collection are from the collection of the Ducs d'Arenburg, while the provenance of the fourth print, DR1987:0342, is unknown.
