EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century French engraving captures the picturesque coastal town of Cap de Quiers, or Cape Creus, in Cadaques, Spain. Located in the northernmost tip of the Costa Brava in Catalonia, this charming town boasts a rich history and breathtaking natural beauty. The engraving, made during the negotiations of the Treaty of the Pyrenees in 1659, offers a glimpse into the ancient seaport and its bustling harbor. The panoramic view showcases the town's quaint architecture nestled between the rugged cliffs and the sparkling Mediterranean Sea. The prominent mountain range in the background adds to the stunning landscape, while the modern age is represented by the elegant vessel in the harbor. The town's name, Cadaques, is derived from the Catalan word for 'jars,' reflecting the area's historical significance as a center for salt production. The Treaty of the Pyrenees, signed in 1659, marked the end of the Franco-Spanish War and established the current border between France and Spain. This engraving serves as a testament to the historical significance of Cap de Quiers and its role in the negotiations that shaped Europe's geopolitical landscape. The intricate details of the engraving transport us back in time, allowing us to imagine the hustle and bustle of the town's daily life. From the colorful boats in the harbor to the winding streets and whitewashed houses, Cap de Quiers remains an enduring symbol of Spain's coastal charm and rich history.
