EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a beautifully detailed "Map of Prague" from the renowned Civitates Orbis Terrarum collection by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg. Created in 1572, this coloured engraving offers a fascinating glimpse into the city's rich history during the 16th century. The map depicts Prague as a bustling imperial city, with its grand palaces and intricate architecture taking center stage. The viewer is transported back in time to an era when priests and monks played significant roles in Bohemia's religious landscape. The presence of these clergy members highlights the importance of religion within society at that time. Joris Hoefnagel, known for his meticulous attention to detail, masterfully captures every aspect of Prague's urban fabric.

As we delve into this remarkable piece of art, we are reminded not only of Prague's architectural beauty but also its deep-rooted religious heritage. This print serves as a testament to both the artistic talent behind it and the significance of faith within society centuries ago. Displayed here is just one example from Bridgeman Images' vast private collection – an extraordinary visual journey through time that allows us to explore cities around the world as they were centuries ago.
