"Perspective View of a Canon Forge" is an architectural drawing by the French architect Claude Nicolas Ledoux (1736–1806), who was one of the earliest exponents of French Neoclassical architecture. This work is part of a series of engravings that Ledoux produced for his seminal work "L'Architecture considérée sous le rapport de l'art, des mœurs et de la législation" (Architecture considered in relation to art, morals, and legislation), published posthumously in 1804. The drawing depicts an idealized vision of a cannon foundry, showcasing Ledoux's innovative approach to industrial architecture and his utopian vision for the organization of society.

In the "Perspective View of a Canon Forge," Ledoux applies his principles of symmetry, order, and grandeur to an industrial facility, a subject that traditionally had not been considered worthy of aesthetic consideration. The drawing features a monumental central structure with a pronounced portico, suggesting the importance and dignity of labor and manufacturing. The forge is depicted in a pastoral setting, harmoniously integrated with the natural landscape, reflecting Ledoux's belief in the connection between architecture, its environment, and the well-being of its inhabitants.

The canon forge is an example of Ledoux's radical reinterpretation of classical architectural forms to serve modern functions, a characteristic of his later career when he was involved in the design of the Royal Saltworks at Arc-et-Senans and the proposed ideal city of Chaux. His work, including the "Perspective View of a Canon Forge," has been influential in the development of modern architectural theory and is studied for its visionary qualities and its attempt to express social ideals through architectural form.

Ledoux's drawings, including this one, are celebrated for their artistic quality and precision, as well as for their imaginative and often unexecuted proposals for a reformed society. The "Perspective View of a Canon Forge" remains a significant piece of architectural history, illustrating the breadth of Ledoux's creativity and his commitment to integrating architecture with social philosophy.
