About the Item

These prints are detailed architectural engravings by Jean-François de Neufforge, reflecting his meticulous approach to classical architecture during the 18th century. 1. The first print is an elevation view of an ornate doorway framed by Corinthian columns. The engraving exhibits a high level of detail in the Corinthian capitals, with each leaf and volute intricately rendered. The shadowing effects add depth, emphasizing the three-dimensional form of the architectural elements. A scale marked in 'pieds' (French for 'feet') is provided for reference, and the names 'Boucher' and 'Pelléier sc' are likely those of the engraver or publisher, commonly included in such works of the time. 2. The second print shows the floor plan of an elaborate ecclesiastical building, indicated by the Latin cross layout typical of Christian churches, cathedrals, or basilicas. The plan is precise and includes details such as individual pews, altars, and annex spaces, which might be chapels or other functional rooms within the church. The symmetry and the methodical arrangement of spaces demonstrate Neufforge's commitment to both aesthetic appeal and functional design in religious architecture. 3. The third print offers another floor plan with a focus on symmetrical balance, a key element of neoclassical architecture that Neufforge was known for. This plan appears to be a variant of the second, with less emphasis on interior detail and more on the overall spatial configuration. It might represent an alternative design or a different development stage of the same project. The annotations in French provide information about the dimensions and the layout, essential for the craftsmen and builders of the time. These engravings are likely part of Neufforge's extensive collection, "Recueil élémentaire d'architecture," which served as an influential source for architectural education and practice in the 18th century. They exemplify the architectural trends of the Enlightenment, where classical forms were revived and reinterpreted with precision and clarity.
