Lot #48: Antique Panoramic City Print – Stuttgart, 1590

This finely detailed antique-style panoramic print depicts the historic city of Stuttgart as it appeared in 1590, offering a remarkable window into early European urban life. Rendered with meticulous line work, the scene captures the city’s fortified walls, church spires, winding roads, and surrounding countryside, all presented in a sweeping bird’s-eye perspective typical of Renaissance-era city views. Rich in architectural and historical detail, the composition invites close inspection—from the clustered rooftops and public buildings to the rolling hills that frame the city beyond. Decorative cartouches and heraldic elements enhance the visual authority of the piece, reflecting the mapmaking and engraving traditions of the late 16th century. Elegantly framed and well-proportioned, this print makes a distinguished addition to a study, library, office, or traditional interior. It appeals to collectors of antique maps, European history enthusiasts, and those drawn to early cartographic and topographical art. A timeless and scholarly work that blends history, craftsmanship, and visual sophistication—ideal for anyone seeking an authentic old-world accent with lasting decorative and historical appeal.
