EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to Nuremberg, Germany in the year 1493. The image is a view of the city as depicted by Michael Wolgemut and Wilhelm Pleydenwurff, two renowned artists of the Northern Renaissance period. It is part of the historic book "Liber chronicarum" written by Hartmann Schedel. The photograph showcases a picturesque cityscape with its towering churches, grand buildings, and sturdy city walls that enclose this walled city. The intricate details captured in this artwork allow us to appreciate the architectural beauty of Nuremberg during the fifteenth century. Intriguingly, we can observe a drawbridge over an estuary leading into the town, symbolizing both protection and connection with neighboring regions. The moat surrounding the wall adds an extra layer of defense against potential threats. Religion plays a significant role in this scene as numerous churches dotting the landscape highlight Nuremberg's strong Christian heritage. These religious structures stand tall amidst houses and other buildings that make up this bustling metropolis. The river mouth visible on one side further emphasizes Nuremberg's strategic location for trade and commerce during that era. This historical print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to German history and culture. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), this remarkable piece offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in centuries-old European geography while appreciating Wolgemut's and Pleydenwurff's artistic prowess.
