About This Item
Blaeu; Amsterdam, 1724. Unknown Binding. Very Good. 10 x 13-1/2 inches. Italy. Hand-colored copperplate engraving of the region of Vrana, Dalmatie, Italy, extracted from Blaeu's Nouveau Theatre D'italie. Matted. Born in Alkmaar, Willem Blaeu served a two-year apprenticeship in Amsterdam, then developed his geographical and astronomical skills under the guidance of Tycho Brahe in Denmark. In 1596 he returned to Amsterdam, and established himself as a maker of both globes and scientific instruments. He also founded a publishing house in 1599, specializing in cartography. Blaeu enjoyed wide acclaim for the quality of his work. His art, instruments and globes featured unprecedented precision, and he developed a new type of press for mapmaking. After Blaeu died, his son Jan Blaeu (died 1673) continued his work. This print is a fine example of the duo's ability to capture architecture through art and an impeccable attention to detail. Light marks around number plate in top right corner. Remainder of picture is untouched. Lines are crisp and clear. Colors remain vivid and bright.
