"Map of Northern Europe from Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is a notable work by Joris Hoefnagel, a Flemish artist, engraver, and miniaturist of the 16th century. This map is part of the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," which is considered one of the most important works in the history of urban cartography and was the first atlas to systematically document the cities of the world. The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," or "Cities of the World," was compiled by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, but Joris Hoefnagel contributed to the work after Hogenberg's death.

Hoefnagel's map of Northern Europe is significant for its detailed representation of the region during the late Renaissance period. It showcases the cartographic knowledge of the time and provides a unique glimpse into the urban landscape of Northern Europe as perceived in the late 16th century. The map is not only a geographical document but also a work of art, reflecting the intricate and ornate style characteristic of Hoefnagel's work.

The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" was published in six volumes between 1572 and 1617, and Hoefnagel's contributions to the atlas are particularly valued for their artistic merit and the enhancement they provided to the cartographic record of the period. His map of Northern Europe stands out as a testament to the skill and precision of Renaissance cartographers and artists, and it remains an important historical source for understanding the development of European cities and the evolution of map-making.

As an artifact of cultural and historical significance, Hoefnagel's map of Northern Europe is housed in various collections and libraries around the world, where it continues to be studied and admired by historians, cartographers, and art enthusiasts alike.
