EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and detailed plan of Byzantium, which was later renamed Constantinople. The etching, created by Franz Hogenberg between 1572 and 1617, provides a fascinating glimpse into the historical significance of this city that straddled both the Eastern Roman Empire and Ottoman Empire. The image transports us to present-day Istanbul in Turkey, where we can explore the rich heritage and architectural wonders that once stood within these ancient walls. Taken from Georg Braun's "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" (Atlas of World Cities), this engraving is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of its creators. As we delve deeper into this map, we are reminded of the vibrant past that Constantinople held as one of the world's most influential cities. Its strategic location at the crossroads between Europe and Asia made it a hub for trade, culture, and power throughout history. Through Luisa Ricciarini's lens, this print allows us to appreciate not only the physical layout but also captures glimpses of daily life within Byzantine society. It serves as a reminder of how civilizations rise and fall over time while leaving behind lasting imprints on our collective memory. Whether you are an avid historian or simply captivated by stunning geographical maps, this artwork offers an immersive experience into Constantinople's grandeur during its heyday—a true treasure for any art enthusiast or lover of history.
