Painting Description
The Map of Jerusalem from "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is a notable historical cartographic work by Joris Hoefnagel, a Flemish artist, engraver, and miniaturist of the 16th century. This map is part of the six-volume city atlas "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," which was edited and published by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg. The atlas, often considered the first systematic city atlas, was compiled and produced between 1572 and 1617, and it includes over 500 maps and views of cities from around the world.
Joris Hoefnagel's contribution to this monumental work, specifically the Map of Jerusalem, is a testament to the blend of artistic skill and geographic knowledge of the period. The map is not only a cartographic representation of the city but also a work of art, richly detailed and meticulously crafted. It reflects the Renaissance interest in the classical world and the Holy Land, which was fueled by religious fervor and a growing curiosity about distant lands among the European populace.
The Map of Jerusalem is significant for its historical and cultural context, as it provides insight into the perception and imagination of Jerusalem in the late 16th century. It is a valuable resource for historians and scholars interested in the history of cartography, the representation of sacred spaces, and the intersection of art and geography during the Renaissance. The map's intricate details and the overall grandeur of the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" have made it an enduring subject of study and appreciation in the centuries since its creation.
