EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Edinburgh, Scotland" takes us back in time to the 16th century. Created by Franz Hogenberg between 1572 and 1617, this print showcases the majestic beauty of Edinburgh, Scotland's capital city. The detailed depiction reveals a bustling metropolis surrounded by natural landscapes and fortified structures. The artist skillfully captures the essence of Edinburgh's architectural heritage with its grand castle dominating the skyline. This stronghold stands proudly atop a hill, symbolizing both power and protection. As we explore further into the image, our eyes are drawn to the intricate details of churches and buildings that dot the cityscape. Each structure seems to tell its own story, reflecting the rich history and culture embedded within these walls. This engraving is part of volume III of "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" published in 1581 by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg. It serves as a testament to their dedication in documenting cities across Europe during this period. Luisa Ricciarini has preserved this historical masterpiece in her private collection for all art enthusiasts to appreciate today. Through her ownership, she continues to honor not only Hogenberg's artistic talent but also Edinburgh's enduring legacy as one of Britain's great cities.
