The "Map of London from Civitates Orbis Terrarum 4" by Joris Hoefnagel is a significant historical artwork that provides a detailed and intricate depiction of London in the late 16th century. Created as part of the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," which is often considered the first modern atlas of cities, this map is particularly notable for its artistic detail and historical value. The atlas itself was a collaborative effort, initiated by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, but the London map is attributed to Joris Hoefnagel, who was responsible for some of the most detailed and elaborate illustrations in the collection.

Published in 1572, the "Map of London" offers a bird's-eye view of the city, showcasing its architecture, layout, and the daily activities of its inhabitants. The map is not only a geographical representation but also serves as a vivid snapshot of Elizabethan London, capturing the city before the great fire of 1666, which dramatically altered its landscape. Hoefnagel's work on this map is particularly praised for its meticulous attention to detail and its combination of topographical accuracy with decorative elements, making it a valuable resource for historians and art historians alike. This map remains an important artifact for studying the urban development of London and the artistic endeavors of the Renaissance cartography.
