AFTER WENZEL JAMNITZER. Perspectiva Corporum Regularium

Perspectiva Corporum Regularium. Artist: after Wenzel Jamnitzer (German, Vienna 1507/8-1585 Nuremberg). Dimensions: Overall: 13 3/4 x 10 1/16 x 3/8in. (35 x 25.5 x 1cm). Engraver: Jost Amman (Swiss, Zurich before 1539-1591 Nuremberg). Published in: Nuremberg. Date: 1568.
Perspective of the Regular Bodies is a lavish compendium of perspectival geometry expressly intended to show off the graphic skills of Jamnitzer, perhaps the most renowned sixteenth-century goldsmith. Based on the five Platonic solids, or "regular bodies"--the tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron--the five main sections of the book each consist of twenty-four polyhedral variants. The forms progress from the simplest on the top row of each page to the most augmented and complex at the bottom.
