About the Item
Title: Bird's-Eye View of Blâmont in Lorraine by Braun and Hogenberg, 1597
This copperplate engraving, published in 1597 by Braun and Hogenberg, depicts a bird's-eye view of the town of Blâmont in Lorraine, known as the "Pays de Vague." Drawn by Georg Hoefnagel, the scene highlights the charm and significance of this historical settlement. The cartouche identifies the location, and the commentary by Braun emphasizes the town’s importance due to its large medieval castle, a ducal palace, and its pious and hardworking population.
In the engraving, the 12th-century castle and ducal palace are prominent features. The surrounding countryside and village architecture are detailed with artistic finesse, providing insight into the region’s historical layout. Blâmont’s rich history, including its tenure under the Salm family and the devastation it suffered during the Thirty Years’ War, adds depth to this evocative scene. The engraving showcases Blâmont prior to its destruction by French troops under Richelieu and Louis XIII.
