EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured engraving, titled "Bergen, Netherlands, 1649" takes us on a journey back in time to the picturesque city of Bergen. Created by the talented artist Joan Blaeu in the 17th century, this print is a true testament to his skill and attention to detail. The image showcases the enchanting beauty of Bergen with its charming houses lining the streets and canals. The city's coat of arms proudly adorns one of the buildings, symbolizing its rich history and heritage. The river gracefully flows through the heart of Bergen, adding a touch of tranquility to this bustling European town. As we explore further into the print, we are greeted by sturdy walls that once protected Bergen from external threats. These walls stand as a reminder of times gone by and serve as a visual representation of how cities were fortified during that era. Every element within this engraving has been meticulously crafted - from each building's architectural details to every stroke on the map itself. It is evident that Blaeu poured his passion for cartography into creating an accurate depiction of this Dutch gem. Now preserved in a private collection belonging to The Stapleton Collection, this remarkable piece allows us to immerse ourselves in history while admiring both Blaeu's artistry and his dedication to capturing cities' essence throughout Europe.
