EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 16th century engraving presents a detailed and captivating view of the ancient city of Rome as it appeared during the height of the Renaissance era. Dated to 1543, this Italian masterpiece showcases the city's rich history and cultural significance during a time when cartography was undergoing a revolutionary transformation. The map, meticulously etched onto the parchment, reveals the urban landscape of Rome with an impressive level of accuracy and detail. The Tiber River winds its way through the city, flowing past iconic landmarks such as the Colosseum, Pantheon, and the Vatican City. The harbor and port areas, marked as "Portus" and "Molo," are depicted with ships and boats anchored, reflecting Rome's strategic location on the Mediterranean Sea. The map also highlights the city's cardinal directions, with "North" indicated at the top, and the various districts and neighborhoods are clearly labeled. The intricate detailing of the map's borders and the elegant typography of the inscriptions add to its aesthetic appeal. This engraving is a testament to the advancements in cartography during the Modern Age, as well as a snapshot of Rome's history during the 16th century. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the city was at the center of the European cultural and artistic world.
