The Map of Frankenburg is an intricate artwork featured in the Civitates Orbis Terrarum, a notable city atlas epitomizing the pinnacle of 16th-century cartography. This particular piece is accredited to Joris Hoefnagel, an esteemed Flemish painter and printmaker known for his significant contributions as the last major miniature painter of the late 16th century.

The artwork portrays a detailed depiction of Frankenburg, a town in Austria, providing an excellent representation of city views during the period of the atlas's creation. Hoefnagel's style in this piece harmoniously combines elements of his reputed work in miniatures, emblematic illustrations, and natural history observations. Its presentation of architectural intricacies and the accurate rendition of the town's topography highlights Hoefnagel's diligence, artistic prowess, and keen eye for detail. The strikingly lifelike portraits of citizens engaged in daily activities also provide a valuable insight into the societal framework, lifestyle, and historical context of that era.

The Map of Frankenburg stands as an essential component of the Civitates Orbis Terrarum. This city atlas, published between 1572 and 1617 in six volumes, is one of the most renowned works containing a compilation of town maps and illustrations. This monumental volume was edited and annotated by the respected theologian and publisher Georg Braun with the majority of engravings done by Franz Hogenberg, while numerous contributing artists like Hoefnagel added their distinctive styles, making this work an important multidisciplinary treasure, charting not only geography but also history, architecture, and social studies of the 16th-century period.
