Ionic term is a 1604 by Adriaen Muntinck, a Baroque work, depicting column, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
Adriaen Muntinck’s 1604 print *Ionic term* shows two carved columns topped by human busts. Made in the Baroque era, it mixes architecture and the human body. Parts of the column look like shoulders, arms, and a face. The Corinthian style is clear, covered in leafy, natural ornament. Muntinck’s engraving links classical columns to living form. The Victoria and Albert Museum holds this print.
