EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a stunning view of Tunis, Tunisia, showcasing the majestic fortress of Goulette (Guleta Arx) that guards the entrance to Lake Tunis. The etching, created by Franz Hogenberg between 1572 and 1617, is part of the renowned "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" atlas. The image reveals the strategic positioning of Goulette Arx as it stands tall against the backdrop of the city walls. Its imposing presence symbolizes strength and protection for this North African harbor town. In front of these ancient fortifications lies a newer fortress known as Nova Arx, further enhancing Tunis' defenses. The engraving offers a glimpse into Tunisian geography with its depiction of Lake Tunis in all its natural beauty. The surrounding landscape showcases an exterior view that highlights both the charm and resilience found within this vibrant city. Luisa Ricciarini's skillful reproduction brings out every intricate detail captured in this historical artwork. This piece not only serves as a geographical map but also provides insight into the rich history and culture of Tunisia. As we admire this remarkable print, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur and significance held by these fortresses within Maghreb society during the 16th century. It is through works like these that we can appreciate both artistic mastery and historical preservation simultaneously.
