EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Namur and the Meuse River, Belgium" takes us on a journey back in time to the late 16th century. Created by Franz Hogenberg between 1572 and 1617, it showcases the exquisite beauty of Namur, a city nestled along the picturesque Meuse River. The intricate details of this print transport us to an era when cartography was both an art form and a means of exploration. Part of the renowned "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" atlas book series published by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg, this engraving offers a glimpse into the rich history and geography of Belgium. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are struck by Namur's grandeur. The city's fortifications stand tall against the backdrop of rolling hills and lush greenery that surround it. The river flows gracefully through its heart, reflecting sunlight like liquid gold. Hogenberg's skillful hand brings every element to life – from each building within Namur's walls to every contour of the landscape. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also provides valuable insights into urban planning during that period. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly preserved this historical gem for future generations to appreciate. Through her work at Fine Art Finder, she ensures that these masterpieces remain accessible to all who seek knowledge or simply wish to be captivated by their timeless beauty.
