Detail of the Right Bank, from the map of Paris c. 1540

617394 Detail of the Right Bank, from the map of Paris c. 1540, known as the Plan de la Tapisserie, made as a tapestry c. 1570, 1818 (colour engraving) by Naudet, Caroline (1775-1839); Bibliotheque Historique de la Ville de Paris, Paris, France; (add.info.: Together with the map of Sebastian MAonster and the Plan de la Gouache, this is one of the oldest plans of Paris. The original map was woven as a tapestry c. 1571 for Cardinal Charles de Bourbon (1523-90). In 1571 he was made Lieutenant-General of Paris and Ile de France and his heraldic arms are displayed here. Later the tapestry passed to the Guise family and was kept at the HA'tel de Clisson. The tapestry disappeared during the French Revolution but a copy had been made for the French antiquary, FranAzois de GaigniAres (1642-1715) ecuyer (equerry) to Louis Joseph, duke of Guise (1650-71). This map shows Paris after the beginning of the dismantling in 1533 (on the orders of FranAzois Premier) of the inner Right Bank Enceinte (city wall) of Philippe II Auguste but the sections near the Louvre and in the 3rd and 4th Arrondissements are clearly visible on the map.); French, out of copyright

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable detail of the Right Bank from the map of Paris circa 1540, known as the Plan de la Tapisserie. Created as a tapestry around 1570 by Caroline Naudet, this exquisite piece offers a glimpse into the historical landscape of Paris during that era. Considered one of the oldest plans of Paris alongside Sebastian Maonster's map and the Plan de la Gouache, this particular artwork holds immense significance. Originally woven for Cardinal Charles de Bourbon in 1571, it displays his heraldic arms as he held the position of Lieutenant-General of Paris and Ile de France. Passed down to the Guise family and housed at HA'tel de Clisson, unfortunately, this precious tapestry was lost during the French Revolution. Fortunately for posterity, a copy had been made for FranAzois de GaigniAres, an esteemed French antiquary who served Louis Joseph, Duke of Guise. This detailed map reveals how Paris appeared after significant dismantling began in 1533 under FranAzois Premier's orders to remove parts of Philippe II Auguste's inner Right Bank Enceinte (city wall). Notably visible are sections near iconic landmarks such as Louvre and within the third and fourth Arrondissements. Through this stunning print captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder, viewers can immerse themselves in both history and artistry while marveling at this intricate depiction of medieval Parisian urban planning.
