Description
An important and stunning c. 1642 bird s eye view and map of Rome by Matthäus Merian.

The view looks on Rome from the northwest - thus looking roughly southwest. This map follows shortly after Pope Sixtus V s ambitious civic redesign of Rome and yet predates the massive rebuilding that occurred during the Baroque Period, thus encapsulating the city during an ephemeral but significant period. The axonometric projection that Merian utilizes lends this map a special significance to historians and architects who can thus visualize many buildings that were demolished or fell into ruin during the subsequent era.
