EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartography from the 17th century - the "Map of Turin" by Joan Blaeu. Engraved in 1682, this exquisite artwork offers a panoramic view of the city, capturing its architectural beauty and historical significance. The map depicts Turin's intricate plan, highlighting its fortified walls and numerous buildings with meticulous detail. Joan Blaeu's masterful illustration technique is evident in this horizontal composition, which brings to life the grandeur of Turin during that era. The absence of people allows us to focus solely on the city's magnificent structures and layout. The Map of Turin transports us back in time, providing a glimpse into the past through Western script engraved onto paper. It serves as a testament to both artistry and craftsmanship prevalent during those times. As we gaze upon this high-angle view, we can imagine what it was like to wander through these streets centuries ago. The map invites us to explore every nook and cranny of Turin's rich history while appreciating the skill involved in creating such an intricate representation. Displayed outdoors or within our homes, this print acts as a window into another world - one where architecture intertwines with culture and heritage. Let it transport you back in time as you marvel at the beauty captured within its lines and contours.
