EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 17th century map print, titled "Map of the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands, 1677-1679," is a testament to the artistic and cartographic prowess of Nicolaes Visscher II. The intricately detailed work depicts the Netherlands during a period of great political and cultural significance, with the Seven United Provinces emerging as a major European power. The map is adorned with a vibrant cartouche at the top left, featuring a trumpet-blowing angel, Mercury, Neptune, and a woman holding a globe. Above the inscription, the angel proudly displays the coat of arms of the Netherlands on a round shield. The map's title is inscribed in elegant script, surrounded by cherubs, or putti, adding an air of divine approval. The map covers the region from Maastricht to Wessem, with the Maas River running along the bottom right. The intricate detail extends to the heraldic crests of various cities and towns, adding a rich layer of historical and cultural significance. The map is further enhanced by the use of color, with the Dutch provinces depicted in various hues, and the inclusion of a scale in German and French miles. This beautiful work of art, created during the Baroque era, is a testament to the artistic and cartographic achievements of the time. It is a reminder of the Netherlands' rich heritage and its role as a major European power during the 17th century. Today, it is a cherished piece of history, on display at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, a fitting tribute to the artistic and historical significance of this magnificent map.
