This stunning 17th century map print, titled "Map of Sint-Omaars," is an anonymous masterpiece from the Rijksmuseum's vast collection. The intricately detailed drawing showcases the fortified city of Sint-Omaars, located in the French department of Pas-de-Calais, near the border of the Netherlands. The map, created between 1650 and 1700, is believed to be of Dutch origin due to the Dutch influence in the region during this time. The map is rendered in ink and watercolour paint on paper, with vibrant hues of blue and green used to depict bodies of water and lush green landscapes. The city of Sint-Omaars is depicted as a well-fortified town, with its walls and bastions clearly visible. The map also includes various topographical features, such as rivers, forests, and roads, as well as the locations of churches, mills, and other important structures. The historical significance of this map lies in its ability to provide a glimpse into the geography and layout of Sint-Omaars during the 17th century. This era was marked by political and military tensions between France and the Netherlands, making the fortification of cities like Sint-Omaars crucial for the defense of territories. The map serves as an important record of the strategic importance of this city during this time. The intricate details and beautiful color palette make this map a work of art in its own right, showcasing the skill and talent of the anonymous artist. The map is a valuable addition to any collection of historic maps or European art, and a fascinating glimpse into the history of Sint-Omaars and the region during the 17th century.
