Civitatis Orbis Terrarum: A Glimpse into the Sixteenth Century's Grandest Vision of the World - Rome This enchanting engraving, titled "Civitatis Orbis Terrarum" or "The City of the World," offers a captivating glimpse into the grandest vision of the world as it was known in the late sixteenth century. Created by the Flemish cartographer Abraham Ortelius and his team, including engraver Frans Hogenberg and publisher Christophe Plantin, this historic work was first published in Antwerp, Belgium, in 1576. The central focus of the image is the Eternal City of Rome, depicted with remarkable detail and accuracy for its time. The Colosseum, Pantheon, and other iconic landmarks stand proudly amidst the bustling urban landscape. The Tiber River winds its way through the city, connecting it to the Mediterranean Sea and the wider world. The world map that surrounds Rome is equally intriguing. The cartographers' knowledge of the world was far more extensive than that of their predecessors, with new discoveries from the voyages of explorers like Magellan and Drake beginning to reshape the understanding of the globe. The Americas, for instance, are depicted for the first time in a world map, albeit with some inaccuracies. This stunning print, preserved in the collections of the Mary Evans Picture Library, is a testament to the intellectual curiosity and cartographic achievements of the Renaissance period. It represents not only a snapshot of geographical knowledge at a pivotal moment in history but also a visual celebration of the human spirit's relentless pursuit of discovery and understanding. As we marvel at the intricacies of this historic print, we are transported back in time, offering us a unique perspective on the world as it was known over 400 years ago.
