EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartographic history - the Map of Ostend from Civitates Orbis Terrarum. Created by Georg Braun and Franz Hogenberg in the 16th century, this engraving offers a fascinating glimpse into the coastal town of Ostend in Belgium. The map, meticulously crafted with intricate details, transports us back to an era when sailing boats ruled the seas and townscape architecture defined urban landscapes. The elevated view allows us to appreciate the physical geography of Ostend, surrounded by vast stretches of sea that were once traversed by adventurous sailors. In this studio shot, we can marvel at every stroke and line etched onto this manuscript-like artwork. The Latin script adds an air of authenticity and historical significance to this masterpiece. Notably, the coat of arms proudly displayed on the map symbolizes Ostend's rich heritage and its place within Belgian history. This horizontal composition invites viewers to explore every corner of this ancient town through Braun and Hogenberg's artistic vision. As an illustration and painting combined, this artful engraving captures our imagination as we envision life in 16th-century Ostend.
