EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled "View of Liege (Leodium), Belgium" takes us back in time to the 16th century. Created by Franz Hogenberg between 1572 and 1617, this print offers a glimpse into the rich history and beauty of Liege, a city located in the Walloon region of Belgium. The intricate details captured in this engraving transport us to an era where agriculture thrived and geography played a vital role in shaping communities. The exterior view showcases vast fields stretching towards the horizon, symbolizing the importance of agriculture for sustenance and livelihoods. As our eyes wander across the scene, we notice a meandering river gracefully flowing through the landscape. This river not only served as a lifeline for trade and transportation but also added to the picturesque charm of Liege. The coat of arms proudly displayed on buildings signifies unity and identity within this bustling city. It represents both heritage and aspirations that have shaped its growth over centuries. Originally part of Georg Braun's renowned atlas "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" this print provides us with an invaluable historical document showcasing Liege's significance during that period. Preserved within private collections today, it serves as a reminder of how cities evolve while retaining their unique character throughout time. Luisa Ricciarini has skillfully brought forth this piece from obscurity by sharing it with Fine Art Finder viewers worldwide. Through her efforts, we can appreciate not only Hogenberg's artistry but also
