84 Friedrich Justin Bertuch (1747–1822) – Architectural Studies: Views of Pisa and a Palace – Engraving (1792-1810)
This hand-colored engraving presents two detailed architectural views. The upper depiction showcases a famous scene with the Leaning Tower of Pisa and adjacent buildings, captured with remarkable precision. The lower view illustrates a sprawling palace or a grand classical building with a bustling courtyard. The rendering of the structures and the small human figures reflects the late Enlightenment style, valuing both scientific accuracy and aesthetic presentation. This engraving originates from Friedrich Justin Bertuch's influential work, Bilderbuch für Kinder.
Friedrich Justin Bertuch was a prominent German publisher, writer, and naturalist of the Enlightenment era. He is best known for his monumental Bilderbuch für Kinder (Picture Book for Children), published between 1792 and 1810 in Weimar, Germany. This work was one of the first illustrated encyclopedias specifically designed for children, encompassing a wide array of subjects from nature, arts, and sciences. Bertuch's efforts significantly contributed to the popularization of knowledge and education in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
