EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a beautifully detailed map of Nancy, the capital city of Lorraine in France, dating back to the 16th century. Created by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg, renowned cartographers of their time, this coloured engraving offers a fascinating glimpse into the city's layout during that era. The map highlights Nancy's fortifications with intricate precision, depicting its fortified walls and moat. The attention to detail is remarkable as it captures every crest and architectural feature of the city's structures. This birds-eye view allows viewers to immerse themselves in the historical context while exploring each street and building from above. Joris Hoefnagel later reproduced this masterpiece after Braun and Hogenberg's original work. His contribution adds an atlas character to the print, infusing mythological figures throughout the composition. These mythological characters lend an air of enchantment to an already mesmerizing depiction. As one gazes upon this artwork from Fine Art Finder's Stapleton Collection, they are transported back in time to witness Nancy as it once stood centuries ago. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical documentation. This print not only appeals to history enthusiasts but also captivates those with an appreciation for European artistry. Its vibrant colours bring life to a bygone era while preserving the rich heritage embedded within these ancient streets.
