51 Georg Braun (1541–1622) & Frans Hogenberg (c. 1535–1590) – View of Büdingen – Copperplate Engraving (c. 1590-1610)
This detailed copperplate engraving presents a panoramic view of "BÜDINGEN," a town in Hesse, Germany. The print captures the urban landscape nestled within a rolling, cultivated countryside, characterized by numerous fields, vineyards, and distant hills. The town itself is shown with its architectural features, including prominent churches and buildings. In the foreground, figures are depicted engaged in agricultural activities, and a cartouche in the lower left corner contains text, likely providing details about the town's history or significance. The composition is framed by a coat of arms in the upper left, adding to its decorative and historical context.
Georg Braun was a German topographer and editor, and Frans Hogenberg was a Flemish engraver. Together, they were the principal compilers and publishers of the Civitates Orbis Terrarum (Cities of the World), a monumental six-volume atlas published between 1572 and 1617. This groundbreaking work provided bird's-eye views and city plans of hundreds of major cities across Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas, serving as an indispensable visual record of urban landscapes during the Renaissance. Their collaboration produced highly influential and aesthetically significant geographical works.
