Oh yes!
With the starry background and the strict symmetry, it reminds me of 18th
century utopian engravings.
Very well done!!

As Thomas appears to be otherwise occupied, I'll have a go at this before
dashing off for the weekend. He can always post a correction if I miss the
mark.
18th Century Utopianism, in general, refers to the works of those
philosophers who actively advocated the creation of a new political and
social order in which the transfer of power from a privileged ruling class
to the people would result in a new era of reason and enlightenment...
< and these were the SMART people - a wonder human race has survived :o) >
As is usually the case among philosophical types, there is no universal
agreement with regard to whom ought to be included as a "Utopian", but John
Locke, Immanuel Kant And Jean Jacques Rousseau are usually listed among the
prime suspects. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson are listed in the
"known associates" file.
To make a long story short, (TOO LATE!) The attachment of these folks to
ancient Greek democratic precedents led to a connection between the
movement and neoclassical aesthetics. Crisp, clean images of monumental
edifices were often used to symbolize the onward march of reason, progress,
etc. Masons, Rosicrucians and other such folks who are often talked about
at really good parties, but almost never invited to them, were particularly
fond of such symbols. Links to a few examples follow:

Actually, these are MUCH better examples than my quick Google search turned
up.

Now! isn't this great fun??? :-)
I just gave a hint, sat back, and lo!!! The right answers keep streaming
in!! Fantastic cooperation!
Thank you Mike and Gilles for your answers. You did a better job than I
could have done actually.
Yes, Jim, that was what I was thinking about when I saw Txemi's work. More

They are very appealing, almost like fore-runners of scifi with their
celebration of geometry and also the illusions of scale.

Yes indeed. I was thinking the same thing when I saw them again. In fact,
they were the science fiction of the time in a sense. I am not sure to what
If I remember well, they were mostly forgotten or ignored until the
mid-twenty's century, when their work and philosophy were 'rediscovered'.
As a strange sidetrack (the mind is uncontrollable!), I am reminded somehow
Spilliaert, or those by Giorgio De Chirico.
