Jean-Francois de Neufforge – Set of 2 Architectural Prints – Development of Doric and Ionic Doors – Engravings (1770) - This set features two architectural engravings from Jean-Francois de Neufforge’s Recueil Élémentaire d’Architecture, published in Paris in 1770. The first print illustrates the evolution of the Doric door, while the second presents a detailed study of an Ionic door. Both designs reflect the classical architectural principles of proportion, symmetry, and ornamentation. Neufforge’s monumental treatise was a cornerstone of 18th-century architectural education, offering a systematic and illustrated guide to classical forms adapted for contemporary use. His work significantly influenced neoclassical design across Europe and remains a valued reference for its clarity, precision, and artistic merit.Artist or Maker:Jean-Francois de NeufforgeDimensions:27 cm x 42 cmMedium:EngravingDate:1770Condition Report:This work is in good condition overall.
