EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historical "Map of Buda, 1686" created by Harmanus van Loon during the reign of Lodewijk XIV, the King of France. Dating back to 1693-1696, this map provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of cartography and geography during that era. The map depicts the Hungarian city of Buda, which was under siege in 1686. The fortress-like city is illustrated with intricate details, showcasing its strategic importance and defensive structures. The sight of this fortified castle would have horrified many who stood against it, including Leopold I and his Habsburgs. The shield-shaped inscriptions on the map further highlight its significance as a tool for military planning and reinforcements. It serves as a testament to both French involvement in European affairs at that time and their interest in expanding influence beyond their borders. As we delve into this remarkable piece from Quint Lox's Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to an era where maps were not only practical tools but also works of art. This particular print captures the essence of history through its attention to detail and evocative imagery. Whether you are a lover of maps or simply intrigued by historical artifacts, this print offers a unique window into Hungary's past while honoring the skillful craftsmanship behind Harmanus van Loon's work.
