EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "View of Candia and Map of Crete, 1668" by Nicolas Visscher. The artwork, displayed at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK, is an exquisite example of etching and engraving with hand-colouring on laid paper. Nicolaes I Visscher was a renowned artist from the 17th century who skillfully captured the essence of landscapes and cityscapes. In this piece, he beautifully depicts the island of Crete with its vibrant colors and intricate details. The image transports viewers to ancient Greece as they explore the enchanting island through Visscher's eyes. The map provides a glimpse into the geography while also showcasing various ports and harbors that were vital to trade during that era. The cityscape captures Candia (now known as Heraklion), offering a panoramic view filled with bustling streets, architectural marvels, and boats docked along the harbor area. It evokes a sense of wonder about life in this historic city. Visscher's talent as an illustrator shines through his meticulous attention to detail in every stroke. This artwork not only serves as a visual delight but also offers valuable insights into European history and antiquity. Ellie Atkins has expertly captured this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its beauty for years to come.
