EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View of Cracow from the North-West" takes us back in time to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the rich history and grandeur of this Polish city. The etching, created by Joris Hoefnagel after Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg, showcases an impressive panorama that stretches across the Vistula River. In the foreground, we witness a royal pageant as King Sigismund I makes his way from Wawel Castle to his country residence at Lobzow. The scene is filled with symbolism: above the castle are the Sforza badges representing Bona Sforza, Sigismund's wife; an eagle symbolizes Poland's strength; and a mounted knight represents Lithuania. The image captures not only the regal procession but also provides insight into daily life during this era. We see boats and barges navigating along the river, emphasizing Krakow's importance as a trading hub. The city itself is depicted in meticulous detail, showcasing its architectural beauty and bustling streets. This print offers viewers a unique birds-eye view of Krakow in all its glory. It serves as both a historical document and a work of art that transports us back to another time. As we gaze upon it, we can't help but marvel at how much has changed over centuries while appreciating how certain elements have stood the test of time.
