Painting Description
The "Plan of London" from *Civitates Orbis Terrarum* is a significant historical map created by Franz Hogenberg, a notable engraver and artist of the 16th century. This map is part of a larger work, the *Civitates Orbis Terrarum*, which is often considered the first atlas of city maps and plans. Published in six volumes between 1572 and 1617, this collection was edited by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Hogenberg. It includes over 500 plans and views of cities from around the world.
The "Plan of London" itself stands out as a detailed portrayal of London before the catastrophic Great Fire of 1666. It provides a valuable visual record of the city’s landscape, architecture, and urban layout during the Elizabethan era. The map is meticulously detailed, showing individual buildings, streets, and notable landmarks, which makes it an essential resource for historians and scholars studying the urban development of London and the architectural styles of the period.
This map not only serves as a historical document but also as an artistic representation of urban life in the late 16th century. The inclusion of figures in period attire and various activities within the city adds a lively, narrative quality to the map, reflecting the vibrancy of London during that era. The "Plan of London" from *Civitates Orbis Terrarum* remains a critical source for the historical and cultural study of London, offering insights into the city’s past and its development over time.
