EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Belgium. Sint-Niklaas. Mercatormuseum. Leo Belgicus," showcases a historical map depicting the Seventeen Provinces of the Low Countries in the form of a majestic lion. The intricately detailed engraving, created by the renowned artist Franz Hogenberg for Michael Aitsinger in Cologne between 1583 and 1585, is a testament to the artistic and cartographic skills of the time. The map, known as "Leo Belgicus," is a significant representation of the political landscape of the Low Countries during the late 16th century. The seventeen provinces, which were united under the rule of the Habsburg dynasty, are depicted in vivid color, each labeled with its name. The central figure of the map is the lion of Belgium, a powerful symbol of the region's strength and unity. The print also features the city of Sint-Niklaas, located in the eastern part of Flanders, Belgium. The Mercatormuseum, a museum dedicated to the history of commerce and trade, can be seen in the lower right corner of the map. The museum's presence in the print highlights the economic significance of Sint-Niklaas and the Low Countries as a whole during this period. The intricate lines and delicate shading of the engraving bring the map to life, transporting us back in time to an era of exploration, discovery, and cultural exchange. The "Belgium. Sint-Niklaas. Mercatormuseum. Leo Belgicus" print is not only a visual feast for the eyes but also a valuable historical document that offers insights into the political and economic landscape of the Low Countries during the late 16th century.
