EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartographic history, the "Map of Raab" from Civitates Orbis Terrarum by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg. Created in 1597, this coloured engraving is a testament to the artistic brilliance of Hoefnagel, Joris. The map depicts the city of Raab (now known as Gyor) situated at the confluence of the Raab River with the Danube. It offers a bird's eye view of this Hungarian city, which occupies the site where once stood the Roman town Arabona. The intricate fortifications against Turkish invasions are prominently featured, reminding us of its historical significance. Intriguingly, amidst this architectural splendor lies an unexpected element - a Turkish captive on horseback. This inclusion adds depth to our understanding of this tumultuous era when conflicts between empires were commonplace. The attention to detail in this engraving is truly awe-inspiring; every building and street meticulously rendered with precision and artistry. As we explore closer, we notice various animals scattered throughout - horses grazing peacefully in fields and birds soaring above. This print not only serves as an exquisite decorative piece but also provides valuable insight into 16th-century Hungary and its struggles against external threats. With its rich historical context and stunning visual representation, it is no wonder that this artwork has found its place within private collections worldwide.
