EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed colored engraving captures a breathtaking view of the city of Ecija and the Genil River, as depicted in the work Civitates Orbis Terrarum. Created by German School artists in the 16th century, this print showcases their exceptional skill in capturing both architectural beauty and natural landscapes. The image transports us to a bustling Spanish town, with its charming streets winding through picturesque buildings. A stone bridge gracefully spans across the Genil River, connecting different parts of the city. On this bridge, we see pedestrians crossing alongside horse-drawn wagons carrying goods from farms nearby. In the foreground, shepherds tend to their flock of sheep while passing by a tollhouse. The pastoral scene adds an element of tranquility amidst the lively urban setting. The surrounding Spanish landscape is beautifully rendered with rolling hills and fields stretching into the distance. This engraving not only provides us with a glimpse into 16th-century Spain but also serves as a testament to Georg Braun's vision as an editor and Franz Hogenberg's mastery as an engraver. It is part of Civitates Orbis Terrarum, an influential city atlas that showcased cities from around the world during that time period. Displayed at Biblioteca Universidad in Salamanca, Spain, this artwork offers viewers a captivating window into history and invites them to explore both past civilizations and enduring natural beauty.
