EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing view of the port of Candie, which is now known as Heraklion, in Crete. The engraving was created by George Braun for the renowned "Civitatis Orbis Terrarum". Volume I written by Franz Hogenberg during the late 16th century. The image transports us back in time to an era when bustling harbors were at the heart of maritime trade and exploration. The intricate details captured in this engraving allow us to appreciate the architectural beauty of both Candie's port and its neighboring Greek counterpart, Corfu. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage that exists within these ancient cities. The towering structures lining the waterfront evoke a sense of grandeur and power, while ships sail gracefully through calm waters. The composition skillfully captures not only the physical features but also conveys a sense of life teeming within these ports. It sparks our imagination as we envision merchants unloading their goods from distant lands or sailors eagerly setting off on new adventures. This print serves as a window into history, offering us a glimpse into what life might have been like centuries ago in these vibrant Mediterranean ports. Its timeless appeal reminds us that even though times may change, certain elements such as trade routes and seafaring connections continue to shape our world today.
