"View of Leopolis" is a detailed and historically significant engraving by Joris Hoefnagel, a notable Flemish artist and miniaturist of the 16th century. This work is part of the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," which is considered one of the most important works in the history of urban cartography. The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," or "Cities of the World," was edited by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, but it also includes contributions from other artists like Hoefnagel. It was published in six volumes between 1572 and 1617 and comprised over 500 maps and views of cities from around the world.

The "View of Leopolis" depicts the city of Lviv, which is located in present-day Ukraine, and was known as Leopolis in Latin during the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Hoefnagel's work is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and its combination of topographical accuracy with artistic embellishment. His view of Leopolis is no exception, offering a snapshot of the city's layout, architecture, and fortifications during the Renaissance period.

Hoefnagel's contribution to the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is particularly noteworthy for its inclusion of human figures and daily life scenes, which provide a glimpse into the social and cultural aspects of the period. The "View of Leopolis" is not only a valuable document for historians and cartographers but also an exquisite piece of art that reflects the skills and interests of its creator. The engraving serves as a testament to the rich history of Lviv and is an important artifact for both the study of urban development in Eastern Europe and the history of art in the late Renaissance.
