EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the late 16th century takes us back in time to the enchanting city of Granada, Spain. The intricate map showcases the city's layout, with its most iconic landmark, the Alhambra Palace, majestically positioned in the center background. Published in Cologne by Georg Braun and Franz Hogenberg as part of their renowned work "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" this print offers a glimpse into Renaissance-era cartography. The Alhambra Palace stands proudly against a backdrop of rolling mountains and an idyllic landscape. Its grandeur is evident even in this black-and-white depiction, capturing its architectural beauty and historical significance. As we explore this image further, we notice men and women going about their daily lives within the city walls – a testament to Granada's vibrant past. This print not only serves as a visual representation of Granada but also provides insight into German-Spanish collaboration during that era. The combined efforts of Braun and Hogenberg have resulted in an exquisite piece that transports us to another time and place. As we admire this remarkable artwork from The Granger Collection's Carousel Collection, let it serve as a reminder of how history can be preserved through art. It invites us to delve deeper into Granada's rich heritage while appreciating the craftsmanship behind such masterful engravings.
