The Map of Cambrai from "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" by Joris Hoefnagel is a significant historical artwork that provides a detailed view of the city of Cambrai, France, during the late 16th century. This map is part of the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," which is considered the first atlas of cities around the world, a monumental work co-authored by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, with contributions from Joris Hoefnagel, particularly in the later volumes.

The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" was published in six volumes between 1572 and 1617 and includes over 500 maps and views of cities from all around the world. The Map of Cambrai stands out for its intricate detail and artistic quality, showcasing Hoefnagel's skill in topographical accuracy as well as his flair for embellishment. The map not only provides a bird's-eye view of the city’s layout, streets, and major buildings but also includes detailed depictions of the surrounding countryside and its inhabitants, offering insights into the life and environment of the period.

Joris Hoefnagel (1542-1601) was an important figure in the transition from manuscript illumination to printed books. His contributions to "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" are particularly valued for their vividness and detail, as well as for the blend of scientific observation and aesthetic appeal. The Map of Cambrai is a prime example of his masterful technique and remains an important resource for historians and art historians alike, providing a valuable glimpse into the urban and social development of Cambrai during the Renaissance.
