Architecture and Design
JAN VREDEMAN DE VRIES (1527-1606) PERSPECTIVE STUDIES

Dutch designer, architect, and painter, was active in the southern Netherlands and throughout Europe. He wrote and illustrated what became one of the major guidebooks on perspective for designers, painters, and architects.

The examples suggested an architectural and urban ideal that spread from the Netherlands in the seventeenth century to Germany, Central Europe, and England.

Vredeman de Vries’s most well-known work is his two-part “Perspective,” first published by Hondius in The Hague in 1604 and 1605.
