EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view of Venice takes us back in time to the 16th century, showcasing the intricate details and grandeur of this iconic city. The print is a reproduction from the renowned "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg, two influential cartographers of their time. As we gaze upon this coloured engraving, we are transported to a bustling metropolis surrounded by marshes and the enchanting Venetian lagoon. The map provides an exquisite depiction of Venice's unique layout with its network of canals and charming bridges connecting various islands. Intriguingly, amidst the architectural marvels that dot the landscape, we catch a glimpse of a vibrant procession winding through the streets below. This lively scene adds a touch of human presence to an otherwise serene bird's-eye view. The attention to detail in this artwork is truly remarkable; every building seems meticulously rendered, capturing both their individuality and collective beauty. It serves as a testament to Joris Hoefnagel's skillful craftsmanship as he reproduced Braun and Hogenberg's original work. This print not only showcases Venice's architectural splendor but also offers historical insights into how it appeared centuries ago. It stands as an invaluable piece for art enthusiasts, history buffs, or anyone captivated by the allure of one of Italy's most beloved cities.
