Johann Christoph Feinlein

Johann Christoph Feinlein (1620-1685) was a German engraver and architect who specialized in architectural designs. Feinlein's engravings, often featuring detailed depictions of columns and other architectural elements, were a valuable resource for architects and builders of the time. His work is characterized by its meticulous detail and precise rendering, which were widely appreciated during the Baroque period. His engravings showcase the five classical orders of architecture: Doric, Ionic, Corinthian, Tuscan, and Composite. These detailed drawings are a testament to his keen understanding of architectural principles and his ability to translate complex designs into easily understandable visuals.
