EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing blend of history, art, and geography. Taken from the renowned Civitates Orbis Terrarum by Georg Braun and Franz Hogenberg in the 16th century, this engraving transports us back in time to witness the beauty of Poitiers and Montherre. The focal point of the image is a Dolmen near Poitiers, an ancient rock formation that stands as a testament to centuries gone by. Its imposing presence against the backdrop of the city creates a striking contrast between nature and civilization. As we gaze upon this landscape from an elevated view, our eyes are drawn towards the meandering river that gracefully winds its way through the scene. The precision and detail captured in this studio shot engraving highlight not only cartography but also serve as an illustration of artistic mastery. The absence of people allows us to fully immerse ourselves in this historical moment frozen in time. As we explore every inch of this horizontal composition, it becomes evident that it is more than just a mere depiction; it is an invitation to delve into France's rich past. With each stroke on paper carefully etched by hand, Braun and Hogenberg have created a visual narrative that transcends generations. This print serves as both a window into history and an exquisite piece of artistry. It reminds us how landscapes can hold stories untold while igniting our imagination with their timeless allure.
