Painting Description
The "Map of Rome from Civitates Orbis Terrarum 3" is a notable historical map that appears in the third volume of the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," a seminal work in the history of cartography and urban iconography. The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," often referred to as the "Cities of the World," was edited and partly engraved by Georg Braun and largely illustrated by Frans Hogenberg. Joris Hoefnagel, a Flemish artist known for his detailed illustrations and contributions to the fields of topography and natural history, contributed to the later volumes of the work, including the third volume, which featured the map of Rome.
Published in 1593, this map of Rome is significant for its detailed representation of the city during the late 16th century, showcasing its architecture, layout, and the grandeur of its urban landscape. The map is not only a cartographic document but also a work of art, reflecting the Renaissance interest in the classical heritage of Rome and the city's contemporary developments.
The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" itself was an ambitious project, aiming to provide a comprehensive collection of city maps and views from around the world. It was published in six volumes between 1572 and 1617 and became a valuable resource for understanding the development of cities during the period. The inclusion of the map of Rome in this collection underscores the city's importance as a center of culture, politics, and religion during the Renaissance.
The "Map of Rome from Civitates Orbis Terrarum 3" is not only an important historical document but also a testament to the collaboration between cartographers, engravers, and artists like Hoefnagel, who brought together their skills to create a work that was both informative and aesthetically pleasing. Today, the map serves as a crucial reference for historians, urban planners, and art historians, offering insights into the urban fabric of Renaissance Rome and the broader cultural context of the time.
