EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartography from the 17th century - the Map of Gubbio, Italy. Created by Joan Blaeu and featured in his renowned work "Theatrum civitatum et admirandorum Italiae" this engraving is a true testament to the artistry and precision of historical mapmaking. The map beautifully captures the essence of Gubbio, a charming town nestled amidst majestic mountains. Its intricate details offer an enchanting glimpse into the architecture, history, and culture that define this Italian gem. The horizontal composition allows for easy navigation through its streets and surrounding walls, providing valuable guidance to those exploring its labyrinthine charm. One cannot help but be drawn to the exquisite coat of arms adorning this masterpiece. It symbolizes both pride in heritage and unity within the community. As we delve deeper into this illustration and painting, it becomes evident that every stroke tells a story - one that intertwines with Gubbio's rich past. What makes this image even more intriguing is its absence of people. This void invites us to step back in time and imagine what life was like during the 17th century when bustling streets were filled with vibrant characters. As we admire Joan Blaeu's exceptional craftsmanship in creating this historic map, let us appreciate how it serves as a window into Gubbio's captivating world centuries ago.
