Newton's cenotaph

 

Newton’s cenotaph

Gometric elevation.  Drawings in watercolor. 1784

Arquitect Etienne boullée

This proyect is my favorite arquitetural drawings. Is most famous.

Boullée, like many members of his generation, was fascinated by Newtonian physics. As fos his work, he perfectly illustrater the caracteristics of architecture at the end of the xviii century.

This is a funeral monument.

The effect of the night is the results of hole drilled into the vault that filler out natural light, giving the impression of star shining. The effect of the day is created by a lamp placed in an armillary sphere suspended in the center of the globe.

Emm, but the detail most important to me and because I love this proyect is for the scale that created. This drawing have some persons that used this space.

Sunk In a circular base and covered with cypresses. It’s beautiful !!!!

This is so much old.:c but I like so much. Byebyee!
