Italy - Veneto // Belluno; Pierre Mortier (Amsterdam

Splendid and detailed bird's-eye view of the city of Belluno, considered one of the most spectacular and sought-after historical depictions of the Belluno capital. Title of the work: BELLVNO or BELLUNE, Capital of BELLUNOIS. City of the Venetian State. Exactly drawn on site, brought to light by the care of PIERRE MORTIER, Bookseller in AMSTERDAM. The map meticulously describes the urban fabric enclosed by the medieval wall, highlighting the defensive towers, the main squares, and the historic palaces. On the left flows the imposing Piave River, animated by the passage of historic rafts and bordered by the characteristic wooden covered bridge. In the background rises the majestic profile of the Prealps and the Belluno Dolomites, rendered with notable volume and chiaroscuro. Fresh, sharp impression, and well contrasted on contemporary laid paper, with wide original margins on all sides.
