EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic views of Candia (Candia), now known as Heraklion, on the beautiful island of Crete, as well as Corfu or Corcyra (Corphu), a Greek island. The etching was created by Franz Hogenberg, a renowned artist from the 16th century. The image takes us back in time to explore the bustling harbor of Candia and its impressive fortifications that once protected this strategic city. A lighthouse stands tall, guiding ships safely into port while adding an enchanting touch to the picturesque scene. In addition to its maritime charm, this print reveals architectural marvels such as churches and other buildings that dot the landscape. These structures are testaments to the rich history and cultural heritage of both Crete and Corfu. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every line tells a story about these ancient cities. It is evident that Hogenberg's work was meticulously crafted with precision and skill. This particular print comes from "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" an atlas book compiled by Georg Braun and Franz Hogenberg between 1572 and 1617. It offers viewers a glimpse into not only the physical geography but also captures the essence of life during that era. Luisa Ricciarini has beautifully preserved this historical artwork in her private collection for all art enthusiasts to appreciate today.
