EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical treasure - the Map of Palmanova from Les Villes de Venetie, 1704. Published by Rutgert Alberts in the Hague, this engraving is a remarkable example of French School artistry from the 18th century. The map itself depicts Palmanova, an extraordinary military fortress designed by Vincenzo Scamozzi to commemorate the Battle of Lepanto in 1571. Situated on the border with Slovenia in Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, Italy, this nine-pointed star-shaped city stands as a testament to Italian ingenuity and architectural brilliance. With its intricate fortifications and imposing walls captured in meticulous detail, this birds-eye view offers a glimpse into the strategic planning that went into creating such an impregnable stronghold. The moat surrounding Palmanova adds another layer of defense while beautifully accentuating its geometric layout. As we explore this cartographical masterpiece further, we are reminded of Venice's influence on Italian history and culture. The Venetian mapping style shines through in every stroke of this engraving, transporting us back to an era when fortified towns like Palmanova played vital roles in safeguarding European territories. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also invites us to delve deeper into Europe's rich past and appreciate the artistic prowess behind these historical maps. A true gem for any admirer of cartography or lover of European heritage!
