EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartographic history - the Map of Granada from Civitates Orbis Terrarum. Created by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg in 1565, this coloured engraving offers a fascinating glimpse into the city's past. The intricate details depicted on this map transport us back to 16th-century Spain, where bustling streets and vibrant town squares come to life. The viewer is immediately drawn to the lively scene unfolding before them; people dancing, playing music, and engaging in various activities that capture the essence of Spanish culture. Amidst all the urban bustle, we also catch a glimpse of rural life as farmers diligently plow their fields with horses and oxen. This juxtaposition between city and countryside beautifully illustrates the importance of agriculture in sustaining both Granada's economy and its inhabitants' livelihoods. As we delve deeper into this historical masterpiece, it becomes evident that every stroke of Joris Hoefnagel's engraving tells a story. From majestic farmhouses dotting the landscape to meticulously planned city layouts, each element contributes to our understanding of Granada's rich heritage. This print not only serves as an exquisite decorative piece but also invites us on a journey through time. It reminds us that beneath modern skyscrapers lie centuries-old foundations built upon tradition, resilience, and cultural diversity – making Granada an enchanting destination for both historians and wanderlust-filled travelers alike.
