Description
This adhesive tape contains several designs for an extensive garden architecture, at least two of which can be attributed to Hans Krumper. The complex was to consist of open, grotto-like and covered halls. One sheet shows the view between two rows of arcades made of rusticated ashlars, which support a balustrade on both sides and are connected in the centre by a fountain bowl. The water is supplied via filigree tendrils, the design of which bears Krumper's signature. Another sheet shows the interior elevations of both arcades with slight variations in the ashlars and crowning. Due to the considerable extent of the complex, Dorothea Diemer considers it unlikely that the designs were intended for Maximilian I's large court garden; rather, they point to an unrealised project or are more likely to belong to the field of decoration. - Paper partly stained, wavy and with clear printer's creases. Individual, partially backed tears. Some pages no longer bound. In good condition for its age.
