"View of Cracow from the North West" is a notable 16th-century engraving by Flemish artist Joris Hoefnagel, featured in the seminal city atlas "Civitates Orbis Terrarum." The work is part of the sixth volume of the atlas, which was published in 1617, several years after Hoefnagel's death. The atlas itself, created by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, was the first systematic collection of urban maps, offering a comprehensive view of cities across the world. Hoefnagel contributed to the illustrations with his detailed and intricate style.

The engraving depicts a panoramic view of Kraków, Poland, as seen from the northwest, capturing the architectural and urban details of the city during the Renaissance period. It is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the urban landscape of Kraków, including its fortifications, buildings, and the surrounding countryside. The work is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and serves as an important record of the city's appearance in the early modern era.

Hoefnagel's contribution to "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is significant, as his illustrations are among the most artistically accomplished within the collection. His work on the "View of Cracow from the North West" is particularly notable for its combination of topographical accuracy and aesthetic appeal. The engraving not only serves as a tool for historical and geographical study but also stands as a testament to Hoefnagel's skill as an artist and his ability to capture the essence of urban life in the late 16th and early 17th centuries.
