Georg Braun: A Master of Cartography and Engraving Step into the world of Georg Braun, a renowned cartographer and engraver whose works have left an indelible mark on the history of mapmaking. Born in Cologne, Germany, in 1541, Braun's collaboration with Frans Hogenberg resulted in some of the most exquisite maps and city views ever created. One such masterpiece is the "Old Map of Exeter, " meticulously crafted by Braun and Hogenberg in 1618. This intricate depiction offers a glimpse into Exeter's past, showcasing its streets, buildings, and landmarks as they stood centuries ago. Similarly captivating is their "Plan of Canterbury, " which transports us to sixteenth-century England with its detailed representation. Braun's partnership with Hogenberg extended beyond British shores. Their joint effort gave birth to breathtaking panoramas like the "View of Antwerp" (1572-94) and the "Map of Alexandria" (1575). These artworks not only showcase their exceptional skill but also serve as invaluable historical records. The duo's magnum opus was undoubtedly the monumental work titled "Civitates Orbis Terrarum. " Within this collection lies treasures like the enchanting view of Palazzo Farnese at Caprarola—a testament to Renaissance architecture—and Sulmona, Italy—an intricately engraved snapshot capturing everyday life during that era. Braun's talent for blending artistry with geography is evident in his hand-colored engravings such as Zurich (1575) and Seville (1579-1590). These vibrant creations breathe life into cities long gone while preserving their essence for future generations to admire. His legacy extends far beyond Europe; even distant lands found themselves immortalized through his artistry. The panoramic view he crafted captures Nuremberg bustling with activity—locals adorned in traditional attire adding depth to this remarkable scene.
