Beskrivning

This elegant set of two architectural engravings by Jean-François de Neufforge presents detailed designs for a Porte Triomphale pour l'extérieur d'une Place Publique (Triumphal Gate for the exterior of a Public Square). The compositions showcase grand classical designs with ornate detailing, including sculpted relief panels, statues in niches, and intricate cornices.

The left panel illustrates the main elevation of the gate with its grand arch and decorative elements, symbolizing the grandeur of neoclassical architecture. The right panel provides a sectional view with dimensions, structural components, and elaborate ornamentation typical of Neufforge's architectural vision.

This collection was a comprehensive portfolio of architectural designs, influencing European neoclassical architecture during the late 18th century. His works are renowned for their precision and elegant portrayal of architectural ideals.
