Paris Map on Gilt Panel After Braun & Hogenberg from 1572 - 19 x 27 in
My fine reproduction of the map of Paris by Braun in 1572 is mounted on a gilded and beveled panel, apparently furniture-grade wooden particle board, with exceptional antiqued finish with real craquelure in the varnish (not painted or printed) which makes it appear at a glance to be hundreds of years old. Made in Italy, circa 2000. Unsigned aside from “Made in Italy” stamp on verso. 19 1/4 by 27 1/8 by 5/8 inches. The original was illustrated in Volume I of Civititas Orbis Terrarum, the six volume work published in 1572 by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg. The cartouche at the left translates to. Lutetia, commonly known as Paris, is the largest city in France and has the navigable Seine flowing around it. With the nobility, merchants, an excellent university, the stupendous church of Notre-Dame, the royal palace and other outstanding buildings, with a fair judiciary and most beautiful epitaphs, it is a most flourishing city. The cartouche in lower right translates to. Paris is truly a royal house / Of the god Apollo in his radiant splendour / Is like Cyrrea full of good minds / Vigorously it brings forth divers writings / Is like Chrysea abundant in metals / Almost like Greece flourishing in wisdom / The India of study and the Rome of poets / Athens, lastly, through famous scholars / Rosebush of the world, balsam of the firmament / Universal, the ornament of Sidon / Abundant in food and drink / Rich in lovely meadows and damp riverbanks / Fruitful in wine, mild for its citizens / Fertile in wheat and many other goods.
