Drie ontwerpen voor het exterieur van een kerk 1905 - 1906

Carel Adolph Lion Cachet made these three designs for the exterior of a church in pencil, probably in a sketchbook. I see these swift marks mapping out different architectural options. I’m curious about what he may have been thinking while making them. Each design offers a distinct take on the church's façade. They were probably meant for a patron, but what if he were making them for himself? I mean, what kind of church would he have wanted to create? There's a tension here between the precision of architectural drawing and the freedom of sketching. The thickness and thinness of the lines, the cross-hatching to create areas of density, all feel like they could be explored much further. I wonder how these sketches relate to Cachet’s other works and the broader architectural trends of the time? Ultimately, these drawings speak to the ongoing exchange of ideas, where one artist’s exploration inspires another, and the conversation around art and architecture evolves through time.
