De Neufforge's Neoclassical Visions: Original Engravings, ca.1770
About the Item
Engravings that were part of the extensive collection by Jean-François de Neufforge, from his publication "Recueil élémentaire d'architecture." This collection was a significant work that influenced architectural design during the neoclassical era and was first published in several volumes starting in the mid-18th century.
1. **First Image Description (Elevation of a Building with a Statue):**
- Titled "Elévation d'un feu d'artifice avec salle de Ballet", translating to "Elevation of a fireworks display with a ballet hall," the engraving shows a neoclassical façade, possibly a front elevation for a ceremonial or entertainment structure.
- The façade features a dome topped with a statue, perhaps symbolic of celebration or performance, and a grand staircase leading to an entrance flanked by columns. The classical elements suggest a design intended for grand events.
2. **Second Image Description (Plan of a Circular Building):**
- The second engraving, "Plan du feu d'artifice," is a floor plan that corresponds to the structure in the first image. It shows a circular central area, which might be an open space for fireworks or performances, surrounded by smaller rooms or viewing areas.
- This layout would be suited for social gatherings, offering an immersive experience for the audience around the central spectacle.
**Date of Creation:**
The engravings were likely made during the period of de Neufforge's publishing of "Recueil élémentaire d'architecture," which was between 1757 and 1780.
**Existence of the Building:**
Like many of de Neufforge's works, these engravings are probably not of existing buildings but rather idealized architectural designs meant to showcase the possibilities of neoclassical architecture. They served as a source of inspiration and a guide for architectural styles rather than as blueprints for actual construction. Therefore, it is unlikely that this specific building was ever constructed.
These engravings are valuable for their historical and artistic significance, offering insight into the architectural and cultural values of the 18th century. They would hold interest for historians, architects, and collectors.
