EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored engraving, titled "Map of Candia and Corfu, from Civitates Orbis Terrarum" takes us on a journey back in time to the 16th century. Created by the talented artists Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg, this print showcases their intricate attention to detail and artistic skill. The image transports us to the bustling harbor of Candia and Corfu, two prominent cities in Greece. The vibrant colors bring life to the scene as we witness a fleet of Greek ships gracefully sailing across the sea. The birds-eye view allows us to marvel at the grandeur of these cities, with their impressive citadels standing tall against the horizon. As we explore every corner of this map, our eyes are drawn towards Iraklion, one of Crete's most significant ports. Its strategic location made it an essential hub for trade and commerce during that era. This engraving not only provides historical insight but also serves as a visual feast for art enthusiasts.
