Harmonic Structures – Unknown Artist (c. 18th Century) – Limited Edition Framed Art Print

This piece calls attention to the architecture inherent in nature and the nature inherent in architecture. The suspended cube represents pure form, while the nested polyhedra speak to the complexity of matter. And at the bottom, the bird reminds us that even the most perfect geometry exists within a living world. Harmonic Structures invites the viewer to consider how balance emerges between the precise and the organic

This captivating composition comes from the 18th-century manuscript Sammlung geometrischer und perspectivischer, in Farben ausgeführter Zeichnungen (Cod. Guelf. 74.1 Aug. 2°).

It presents a remarkable study of geometric hierarchy: an open skeletal cube suspended in perfect perspective, balanced above a compound of faceted solids rendered in cool blue and radiant red.

The juxtaposition of architectural precision with a small, almost whimsical bird at the base reveals the artist’s extraordinary blend of mathematical discipline and natural observation. This interplay of structure and softness creates a visual narrative about order, fragility, and the quiet ways geometry echoes forms found in the natural world.

A rare and elegant work — ideal for modern spaces that value minimalism, design intelligence, and art with historical resonance.
