EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tours - Angers, the garden of France, 1566" takes us back in time to the enchanting landscapes of 16th-century France. The image showcases an exquisite engraving created by Franz Hogenberg in 1598, depicting a view of Tours and Angers, known as the "garden of France". The intricate details captured in this artwork transport us to a world where urban planning and geography merge harmoniously with nature's beauty. The cityscape is meticulously illustrated, showcasing the architectural wonders that adorned these French towns during that era. From towering cathedrals to charming houses nestled along winding streets, every element reflects the artistic vision of Georgius Houfnaglius. Published as part of volume V in "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" a renowned atlas book published between 1572 and 1617 by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg, this engraving offers a glimpse into historical cartography. It serves as both an educational resource for understanding past civilizations and a testament to the skillful craftsmanship prevalent during those times. Luisa Ricciarini has expertly preserved this invaluable piece from her private collection. With its rich Dutch influence evident through Hogenberg's work, this print stands as a testament to cross-cultural collaborations within art history. As we admire this remarkable photograph print today, we are reminded not only of the beauty captured within it but also of our connection to history itself.
