The Map of Barth from "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is a notable work by Joris Hoefnagel, a Flemish artist and engraver of the 16th century. This map is part of the sixth volume of the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," which is considered one of the most important works in the history of urban cartography. The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," or "Cities of the World," was edited by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, but Joris Hoefnagel contributed to the latter volumes after Hogenberg's death.

The map of Barth, a town in the German state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, is a fine example of Hoefnagel's detailed and decorative style. It showcases the town as it was in the late 16th century, highlighting its architecture, layout, and fortifications, and is accompanied by Hoefnagel's signature intricate border designs. The map not only serves as a historical record of Barth's urban landscape but also reflects the Renaissance interest in accurately depicting cities from a bird's-eye view.

Hoefnagel's contribution to the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is significant as it represents a transition in cartographic representation, combining accurate topographical information with artistic elements. His work on the map of Barth and other cities contributed to the prestige of the "Civitates," which became a valuable resource for scholars and a testament to the urban development of the period.

The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" was published in Cologne between 1572 and 1617, and the inclusion of the Map of Barth by Joris Hoefnagel in this collection underscores the importance of the work in the context of Renaissance cartography and art. The map remains an important historical document and a testament to Hoefnagel's skill as an artist and cartographer.
