Sebastian Münster (German, 1488-1552) LA SITUATION DE LA VILLE DE ROME Antique Map of Rome, 1549 Possibly printed in 1964 Print on paper Publisher: Heinrich Petri for Cosmografia Universalis Sight: 11 1/4 x 15 in. Framed: 15 7/8 x 19 3/4 x 2/3 in. Colored print of a 1549 image created by Sebastian Münster, a German cartographer and cosmographer. The map details important sites around the city as they would have appeared in the 16th century. The print shows a beautiful view of Rome from Münster's Cosmography. Münster's choice in perspective shows clearly the fortified walls and Seven Hills of the Eternal City, with significant activity along the Tiber River. Many of Rome's great landmarks are identified; the key at the bottom locates approximately 23 landmarks. This depiction represents one of the earliest obtainable views of modern Rome.
