Stunning Decorative Antique Map of Venice in Italy, ca.1787
About the Item
Title: Piano elevato dell'inclita città di Venezia
Bird's-eye view (etching) of Venice.
Print made by: Marco Sebastiano Giampiccoli
After: Matthäus Merian I
Two copper engraved sheets joined, later coloring, blank verso. First issued as a separate map circa 1630, according to Wüthrich, and in 1635 according to Moretto, Merian’s Venice had a long life; Giampiccoli’s version takes account of various revisions to the plate and no longer shows the Doge’s coat of arms: the Venetian Republic was conquered by Napoleon, and after a brief French occupation was ceded to Austria.
Engraving on copper, an interesting and uncommon bird's-eye view published by Giampiccoli, reusing the seventeenth-century plate by Merian, acquired by him; the print represents an important document of the city's development during the Napoleonic period. There are, of course, numerous modifications compared to the original German edition, and it was published in various states starting from around 1797 when Venice was still the "Capital of the Venetian Austrian provinces" (as stated in the title of the first state). Among the various states, there are numerous changes in place names, additions, and variations to the engraved part. Ours is a later one with the addition of the San Marco gardens, the two small towers in front of the island of San Giorgio, completed in 1813, and the public gardens in Castello.
A good example with some small stains and trace of the vertical fold. Some visible restorations on the back.
