About the Item

Rare 1572 Map of Ancient Rome with Monuments by Ligorio, Braun & Hogenberg This remarkable 16th-century map, *Urbis Romae Situs cum ils quae adhuc Conspiciuntur Veter. Monumet Reliquiis*, was created by the Italian architect and antiquarian Pyrrho Ligorio and published by Braun and Hogenberg in 1572. It is a visually captivating depiction of ancient Rome, complete with its topographical layout, monuments, and surviving antiquities from the Roman Empire. The map intricately portrays the city as it was imagined in antiquity, highlighting famous landmarks such as the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the Circus Maximus, and the Pantheon. Rivers, bridges, temples, theaters, and public baths are labeled, with meticulous attention to detail. Ligorio’s expertise in Roman archaeology is evident, as he combined historical accuracy with artistic embellishments. The hand-colored engraving features the ancient city walls, the Tiber River, and surrounding areas, offering a unique glimpse into the Renaissance interpretation of ancient Rome. In the lower-right corner, elegantly dressed figures add a human scale to the illustration, further enhancing its charm. This map is a fine example of Renaissance cartography, blending historical knowledge with decorative artistry. Braun and Hogenberg’s Civitates Orbis Terrarum, where this map appeared, was one of the most important and influential city atlas collections of the 16th century. Condition: very good condition with vivid hand-coloring and crisp engraving. Margins are clean and the map is free from significant imperfections. Matting and Framing Tips: Use acid-free matting and UV-protective glass to preserve its colors and paper. A gold-accented or dark wood frame will enhance its antique appeal. Ensure proper spacing between the glass and the map to prevent damage. Display in a low-light environment, away from direct sunlight and humidity, to maintain its excellent condition.
