The "Map of Duisburg" from the *Civitates Orbis Terrarum* is a notable work by Joris Hoefnagel, a prominent Flemish artist and engraver of the 16th century. This map is part of the *Civitates Orbis Terrarum*, which is often considered the first atlas of city maps and plans, a monumental work that was co-created by Georg Braun and Franz Hogenberg and published in Cologne between 1572 and 1617. The "Map of Duisburg" specifically depicts the city of Duisburg, Germany, during the Renaissance period, showcasing the city's layout, architecture, and fortifications with remarkable detail and artistic finesse.

Joris Hoefnagel, who contributed to the latter volumes of the *Civitates*, was known for his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to blend fine art with cartographic precision. The map not only serves as a practical representation of Duisburg but also as an artistic reflection of the era, highlighting the cultural and economic significance of the city in early modern Europe. The inclusion of this map in the *Civitates Orbis Terrarum* underscores the importance of Duisburg as a major hub in the Holy Roman Empire and provides valuable insights into urban development during the 16th century.

This map is particularly valued by historians, art historians, and collectors due to its historical relevance, aesthetic appeal, and its role in the evolution of urban cartography. It remains a critical resource for understanding the historical landscape of European cities and the advancement of cartographic techniques during the Renaissance.
