The "Nuremberg Chronicle," also known as "Liber Chronicarum" or "Schedelsche Weltchronik," is an illustrated world history that was written by Hartmann Schedel and first published in 1493 in Nuremberg, Germany. One of the most notable woodcuts within this incunabulum is the "View of Rome," which provides a detailed depiction of the city of Rome as imagined in the late 15th century. This work is significant not only for its historical and artistic value but also as a reflection of the knowledge and perception of geography at the time.

The "View of Rome" is part of a larger collection of city views and maps that adorn the pages of the Nuremberg Chronicle. These illustrations were created by artists Michael Wolgemut and Wilhelm Pleydenwurff, with the young Albrecht Dürer possibly involved as an apprentice. The woodcut presents a panoramic view of Rome, showcasing various landmarks, some of which are rendered with a mix of historical accuracy and imaginative reconstruction. The image serves as a testament to the city's grandeur and its importance as a center of Christian pilgrimage and classical heritage.

The Nuremberg Chronicle itself is an ambitious work that combines religious history with a chronicle of the world, starting from the creation as described in the Bible and extending to the contemporary era of the 15th century. It is divided into seven ages, with the "View of Rome" appearing in the Sixth Age, which covers the period from the birth of Jesus Christ to the publication date of the book. The Chronicle was produced in Latin and German editions, with the Latin version preceding the German one by a few months.

The "View of Rome" and the Nuremberg Chronicle as a whole are valued for their extensive use of woodcut illustrations, which was an innovative feature for books at the time. The Chronicle contains over 1,800 illustrations, making it one of the most lavishly illustrated books of its age. The "View of Rome" stands out as a particularly detailed and expansive city view, offering insights into the urban landscape and architecture of Renaissance Rome.

Today, the Nuremberg Chronicle is considered a masterpiece of early printing and is highly sought after by collectors and institutions. Its illustrations, including the "View of Rome," continue to be studied by historians, art historians, and scholars of the early modern period for their artistic merit and as valuable sources of historical information.
