"Ansicht Von Konstantinopel" (View of Constantinople) is a notable engraving by Hans De Jode, a 16th-century Flemish artist and cartographer. Created during the late Renaissance period, this work is an example of the detailed cityscapes and maps for which De Jode was renowned. The engraving is part of a larger body of work that reflects the European interest in documenting and understanding the geography and urban centers of the world during a time of exploration and trade expansion.

The engraving provides a panoramic view of Constantinople, now known as Istanbul, which was the capital of the Ottoman Empire at the time. It showcases the city's iconic skyline, including its famous landmarks such as the Hagia Sophia and the Galata Tower, as well as the bustling activity in the Golden Horn and the Bosphorus Strait. The work is characterized by its meticulous attention to architectural detail and its effort to capture the grandeur and strategic importance of the city, which has historically been a bridge between Europe and Asia.

Hans De Jode's "Ansicht Von Konstantinopel" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical value. It provides insight into the perception and representation of one of the most important cities of the period by European artists. The engraving is a testament to the exchange of knowledge and culture between the Ottoman Empire and Europe during the Renaissance, and it remains a valuable resource for historians and art enthusiasts alike.

The work is often studied in the context of the De Jode family's contributions to cartography and printmaking. Hans De Jode, the son of Gerard De Jode, was part of a lineage that competed with the more famous map-making family, the Ortelius. Despite the De Jodes' significant output and the quality of their work, their commercial success was overshadowed by their rivals. Nonetheless, "Ansicht Von Konstantinopel" stands as a remarkable piece within the oeuvre of Hans De Jode and is a sought-after print among collectors of historical maps and city views.
