EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Grenoble and Romans sur Ister, France" takes us back in time to the late 16th century. Created by the talented artist Franz Hogenberg between 1572 and 1617, this print showcases a detailed view of two French cities nestled in the picturesque Rhone Alps region. The first city depicted is Grenoble, known for its fortified walls and strategic location along the Isere River. The engraving beautifully captures the grandeur of this "munitissima" city, as described by Joannes Poldus. We can almost imagine ourselves walking through its streets and admiring its architectural marvels. Moving on to Romans sur Ister, we are presented with another charming town situated in Dauphine province. Its full name being Romans Delfina Tus Vulgo Daufine in Gallia Oppidu, it exudes an air of tranquility with its quaint houses lining the riverbanks. Part of a larger atlas book called "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" published by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg during this period, this engraving serves as both a geographical map and a visual delight. It offers us insights into how these cities appeared centuries ago while showcasing their coat of arms proudly. Thanks to Luisa Ricciarini's efforts in preserving this piece from her private collection, we can now appreciate the historical significance and beauty captured within this remarkable artwork.
