Between 1596 and 1598 he worked at the court in Prague, where he decorated several halls and designed fountains for the imperial palace of Rudolph II. A connoisseur of classic architecture thanks to the treatises drawn up by Vitruvius and Serlio, De Vries was also the author of significant writings on architecture and perspective which, alongside his prints, would exert a great influence on painters of architecture from the 16th to the 19th centuries. ## Related artworks - [Architectural Caprice \(detail\)]() - [Architectural Caprice]() - [Architectural Caprice with Figures]() - [Palace with Musicians]() - [Trajan and the Widow]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
