About the Item

Title: "Baroque Elegance: Van der Horst's Staircase Engravings" Description: These detailed engravings from Tieleman van der Horst's "THEATRUM MACHINARUM UNIVERSALE" are a remarkable illustration of Baroque staircases, offering a glimpse into the sophisticated design and ornamental detail prevalent in the 18th century. The works depict various staircase designs, each with its unique character and complexity. Engraving XXI showcases elaborate railing and baluster designs, with richly decorated elements that embody the extravagance of the Baroque period. The intricate patterns and florid motifs speak to the craftsmanship and artistic standards of the time. Engraving XXII provides technical drawings of a spiral staircase, highlighting the precise geometry and meticulous planning required to create such a structure. It reflects the fusion of art, mathematics, and architecture, which was central to Baroque design philosophy. Engraving XXIII and XXIV continue this theme, presenting both the lavish aesthetics and the functional aspects of staircase construction. From the elegant curves of the handrails to the careful delineation of each step, these engravings are a testament to the era's architectural ambition and the skill of its craftsmen. Together, these images not only served as a reference for builders and architects but also celebrated the grandeur and beauty of Baroque architecture, ensuring that such designs would inspire and influence for centuries to come. More about the architect, artist and publisher: Tieleman van der Horst, Jan Schenk, and Petrus Schenk were individuals active in the 18th-century Dutch world of printmaking, engraving, and publication, particularly in the realm of scientific and technical knowledge. **Tieleman van der Horst**: While not much is widely known about Tieleman van der Horst, it is evident from the work that he had a strong grasp of architectural principles and mechanical design. As the author of "THEATRUM MACHINARUM UNIVERSALE of Nieuwe Algemeene Bouwkunde," he would have been a significant figure in the field of architecture and engineering during his time. His work on this compendium of machinery and architectural design would have contributed to the spread of technical knowledge during a period when such information was becoming increasingly valuable. **Jan Schenk**: Jan Schenk was the engraver for these works, and as such, would have been highly skilled in the art of engraving. Engraving was a meticulous process that required a steady hand and an acute eye for detail. The quality of the engravings suggests that Schenk was a master of his craft, able to translate complex, three-dimensional structures onto a two-dimensional medium with precision and clarity. **Petrus Schenk**: Petrus Schenk was a publisher based in Amsterdam, a city that was a center of printing and publishing in the 18th century. As a publisher, Schenk would have been involved in the business and administrative side of producing and distributing the book. His role would have been to oversee the printing process, manage the financial aspects, and ensure the distribution of the finished product to booksellers and clients. The fact that he published a work of such technical and artistic complexity indicates that he was a significant figure in the world of publishing and had the resources and connections necessary to produce and sell such a specialized text. Overall, the collaboration between these individuals on "THEATRUM MACHINARUM UNIVERSALE of Nieuwe Algemeene Bouwkunde" would have been a considerable undertaking. It brought together expertise from different realms—architectural knowledge, artistic skill in engraving, and the business acumen necessary for successful publication—to create a work that was both educational and visually impressive. This work would have served as an important resource for professionals in architecture and engineering, as well as for patrons and students interested in the latest developments in building technology and design.
