The "Map of Tienen" from "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is a notable historical illustration of the city of Tienen, located in the province of Flemish Brabant, in Belgium. This detailed map is part of a larger work, the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," which is considered one of the most significant achievements in the history of cartography. The "Civitates" was compiled and edited by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, but the map of Tienen is attributed to the renowned artist and cartographer Joris Hoefnagel.

Joris Hoefnagel (1542–1600) was a Flemish artist known for his miniature paintings, illuminations, and cartographic works. His contribution to the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is particularly important as it reflects the urban landscape of the late 16th century with remarkable detail and artistic finesse. The "Map of Tienen" showcases Hoefnagel's skill in capturing the architectural and topographical features of the city, providing a valuable historical record of Tienen during the Renaissance period.

The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," published between 1572 and 1617, is often referred to as the first atlas of town plans and views. It includes over 500 maps and views of cities from around the world, offering an unprecedented visual account of urban life during the 16th century. The inclusion of the "Map of Tienen" within this collection underscores the city's significance and the broader interest in documenting the urban centers of Europe during this era.

The "Map of Tienen" not only serves as an important historical document but also as a work of art, reflecting the merging of scientific observation and artistic representation that characterized the Renaissance. It remains a valuable resource for historians, geographers, and art historians, providing insight into the methods of Renaissance cartography and the urban development of Tienen.
