EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Frontispiece to L Architecture Militaire Moderne" takes us back to the 17th century Dutch School of art. Engraved by Theodor Matham and published by Chez Louis Elzevier in Amsterdam in 1648, this piece showcases the remarkable talent of Matthias Dogen. The image depicts a grand fortress, standing tall and proud against the backdrop of a serene landscape. Its intricate design is a testament to the skillful craftsmanship of Dutch architects during that era. This frontispiece serves as an introduction to Dogen's work on military architecture, aptly titled "L Architecture Militaire Moderne". Dogen's expertise shines through as he combines historical accounts with contemporary knowledge, enriching his book with illustrations showcasing Europe's most prominent fortresses. The French translation adds an international touch to this masterpiece. As we gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are transported into a world where military strategy meets artistic brilliance.
