EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph showcases a detailed plan of the enchanting island of Rhodes in Greece during the 15th century. Published in London around 1880, it is a reproduction from Paul Lacroix's renowned work "Military and Religious Life in the Middle Ages". The French School artist behind this litho skillfully captures the topographical layout of Rhodes, providing an intricate view of its medieval city. The walled and castellated city stands proudly against the backdrop of the sparkling sea and rugged coastline. Ships dotting the waters hint at Rhodes' strategic importance as a maritime hub. The fortified defenses surrounding the island are meticulously depicted, showcasing their formidable strength. This print draws inspiration from Breydenbach's topographical plan found within his seminal work "Saintes Peregrinations de Hierusalem" originally published in Lyons back in 1488. It offers viewers a glimpse into how Rhodes appeared centuries ago, transporting them to an era where knights roamed its streets and ancient civilizations left their mark on every corner. With its rich historical significance and stunning visual representation, this print serves as both an educational resource for scholars and a beautiful piece for art enthusiasts. Preserved within private collections today, it continues to captivate audiences with its portrayal of one of Greece's most iconic islands during a bygone era.
