"View of Łowicz from Civitates Orbis Terrarum" is a detailed and historically significant engraving by Joris Hoefnagel, a Flemish artist known for his miniature paintings, illuminations, and engravings. This work 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 systematic city atlas. The "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," created by Georg Braun and largely engraved by Franz Hogenberg, was published in six volumes between 1572 and 1617. Hoefnagel, who contributed to the later volumes, was responsible for some of the supplementary engravings that adorned this monumental work.

The "View of Łowicz" depicts the Polish town of Łowicz during the late 16th century, showcasing its architectural and urban features with remarkable detail and accuracy for the period. Hoefnagel's work is characterized by its intricate detail and a combination of topographical accuracy with artistic embellishment, making his contributions to the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" not only valuable historical documents but also works of art.

As an important piece of the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum," the "View of Łowicz" provides insight into the urban landscape of Renaissance Poland, reflecting the cultural, economic, and social aspects of the time. The engraving is a testament to the collaborative effort of cartographers, artists, and publishers in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, who sought to document and disseminate knowledge of the world's cities. Today, it remains a significant reference for historians, geographers, and art historians, offering a window into the past and serving as a prime example of the synergy between art and cartography during the Renaissance.
