EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate etching of the "Plan of La Rochelle (Rochella), France" by Hogenberg, Franz. Dating back to 1572-1617, this piece is a true testament to the rich history and architectural beauty of La Rochelle. The image depicts an exterior view of the city, with its impressive harbor filled with ships emitting smoke from their chimneys. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable, as it includes various elements such as cannons, lathes, arms, and even a geographical map. As we delve into the composition further, we can observe the strong fortifications surrounding La Rochelle – a stronghold that protected this French city throughout centuries. The chestle-like structures stand tall against the backdrop of Charente Maritime's natural beauty. This particular print was extracted from "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" an atlas book published by Georg Braun and Franz Hogenberg between 1572 and 1617. Its inclusion in this collection speaks volumes about its historical significance. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly captured every minute detail in her photograph while ensuring that it remains faithful to the original artwork. Through her lens, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the grandeur and magnificence of La Rochelle during its heyday.
