EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting city of Wesel in North Rhine Westphalia, Germany. The engraving, created between 1572 and 1617 by Franz Hogenberg, offers a glimpse into the rich history and architectural beauty of this ancient town. The image depicts a panoramic view of Wesel, with its impressive church dominating the skyline. The intricate details captured in this engraving allow us to appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry of Hogenberg's work. As we explore further, our eyes are drawn to the majestic River Rhine flowing gracefully through the city. Its presence not only adds charm but also highlights Wesel's strategic location as an important trading hub during that time. The coat of arms displayed proudly on buildings signifies the pride and unity felt by its inhabitants. It serves as a reminder of their heritage and traditions that have shaped this remarkable place. Wesel's fortifications stand tall against time, reminding us of its historical significance as a stronghold protecting its people from external threats. This engraving is part of "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" an atlas book published by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg. Through their collaboration, they aimed to document cities across Europe during this period. Luisa Ricciarini has skillfully preserved this piece for future generations to admire. Her dedication ensures that we can continue to appreciate not only the artistic value but also gain insights into Wesel's past through her work.
