"Single sheet (16 4/8 x 22 inches; 13 inches x 18 4/8 inches to the neat line). A fine engraved view of Milan, the title and explanatory text within fine manneriest strapwork and allegorical cartouches, decorated with the Royal arms and the arms of the city, all with delicate original colour in full, Latin text on verso (some browning and marginal staining and offsetting, one or two patches of brittle oxidation). A magnificent view of Milan in Italy, from the Latin edition of George Braun and Frans Hogenberg's landmark "Civitates orbis terrarium", completed in Cologne between 1572 and 1618, and among the most beautiful and important images of Renaissance cities. This engraving is "an impressive picture of the city's distinctively regular layout. The medieval fortifications were replaced in the 16th/17th centuries by the bastion-like city wall, particularly easy to recognize in this bird's-eye perspective. It starts from the Castello Sforzesco (top centre), the former fortified palace of the Sforza Dukes of Milan. In the very centre of the city lies the cathedral of Santa Maria Nascente, commenced in the 14th century and consecrated in 1572. The Gothic city core is located around the cathedral of Santa Maria Nascente, commenced in the 14th century and consecrated in 1572. The Gothic city core is located around the cathedral square. Also visible in this engraving are Milan's oldest churches, all founded in the 4th century: San Lorenzo Maggiore (centre left), Sant'Ambrogio (top left) and Sant'Eustorgio. Leonardo da Vinci's famous Last Supper (1495/97) is housed in Santa Maria delle Grazie (left of the Castello). When Francesco Sforza died without heirs in 1535, Milan passed to Emperor Charles V, who in 1555 bequeathed it in turn to his son Philip II of Spain. Milan remained in Spanish possession until the 18th century. The city is today the financial, fashion and media capital of Italy with 1.3 million inhabitants" (Taschen page 106). The "Civitates" was the first extensive series of town views that treated its subject matter in an accurate and meaningful way. Earlier collections of town views were far more limited in scope, and often made no real attempt to render the subject city with any degree of realism being simply a record of the existence of a town. Certainly the striking beauty and accuracy of Braun and Hogenberg's production was entirely unprecedented. Earlier collections contained no more than a handful of views, usually only of the more important cities, while the "Civitates" contained literally hundreds of views, including many of smaller towns for which no earlier views are known. Even for the larger, important cities, the "Civitates" is of the utmost importance to the history of their topography.". N° de réf. du vendeur 72edv125
