1. Vredeman de Vries Marker
Nederlands architect, planoloog, tekenaar en schilder. Hij was een van de invloedrijkste kunstenaars uit de 16e eeuw vanwege zijn beheersing van het perspectief, zijn publicaties, zijn ontwerpen en versieringen. Hij ontwierp echter veel meer dan hij uitvoerde.
Als architect werkte hij in Antwerpen, Hamburg, en Praag maar zover bekend zijn er geen gebouwen van hem bewaard gebleven. Zijn invloed ligt in hoofdzaak in zijn boeken, vooral die over perspectief, waarop hij meer dan veertig jaar had gestudeerd.
Dutch architect, planner, draftsman and painter. He was one of the most influential artists of the 16th century because of his mastery of perspective, and because of his publications, designs and decorations. He designed, however, much more than he carried out.
He worked as an architect in Antwerp, Hamburg, and Prague, but there are no known buildings of his. His influence lies mainly in his books, especially those on perspective, which he had studied for over forty years.
