EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1598 showcases the majestic city of Prague, the capital of the Kingdom of Bohemia in what is now known as the Czech Republic. Created by Franz Hogenberg, a renowned Netherlandish artist, this print offers a glimpse into the rich history and architectural beauty of Prague. The focal point of this artwork is the Palatium Imperatorum Pragae, commonly referred to as Ratzin. This Imperial Palace stands proudly atop Hradcany Hill and serves as a symbol of power and grandeur. Its intricate details are meticulously captured in this engraving, showcasing its impressive size and commanding presence. As we explore further into the image, we are immersed in the bustling metropolis that is Prague. The streets are lined with stunning buildings that reflect various architectural styles prevalent during that era. From Gothic spires to Renaissance facades, each structure adds to the unique charm and character of this historic city. Published in volume V of "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" an atlas book created by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg between 1572 and 1617, this engraving provides us with valuable insights into urban planning and geography during that time period. Luisa Ricciarini has beautifully preserved this piece from her private collection for all art enthusiasts to admire. Through her generosity, we can appreciate not only the artistic skill behind this engraving but also gain a deeper understanding of Prague's historical significance within Europe's cultural landscape
