Excerpt: Jacob van Campen (2 February 1596 - 13 September 1657) was a Dutch artist and architect of the Golden Age.(Submitted on July 1, 2023.)
…About 1616 to 1624 he is thought to have lived in Italy. On his return to the Netherlands, Van Campen turned to architecture, applying ideas borrowed from Andrea Palladio, Vincenzo Scamozzi and classical influences from Vitruvius. He was primarily responsible for introducing the classical revival style into Dutch Baroque architecture, combining the native, Dutch brick style with the Vitruvian principles he had learnt to produce "Dutch Classicism", an internationally influentialstyle.Photographed By Andrew Ruppenstein, June 17, 20232.
