BEAUTIFUL ANTIQUE PRINT OF THE "NOUVEAU THÉÂTRE D'ITALIE" by Joan/Johannes Blaeu (1596-1673) and Pierre/Pieter Mortier (1661-1711) and printed in Amsterdam. This large copper engraving H 540 x W 310 mm or 21.3 by 12.2 inches was originally engraved around 1660-1670 by the great Dutch mapmaker Joan Blaeu, the official cartographer of the Dutch East India Company, as his father Willem Janszoon Blaeu (1571-1638) had been before him. PLEASE NOTE: the buyer will also receive a Certificate of Authenticity (COA). This engraving shows the "Arcus Interior in Regione Leonum". Known as Porta Leoni (Gate of the Lions) is one of the ancient gates that opened along the Roman walls of Verona. The current name derives from a Roman tomb decorated with two lions. The gate was built during the Roman Republic by P. Valerius, Q. Caecilius, Q. Servilius and P. Cornelius, and restructured in imperial times. It was connected to the road which led to Bologna and Aquileia. The gate has a square structures, with a double façade and two towers which looked towards the countryside. Now only half of the inner façade, covered with white stone in the imperial age, and the foundings are visible. To complete the documentation, the photo of the title of the work is also published with the name of the artists who created the prints.

In 1672 Blaeu's printing house was destroyed by fire, and Mortier took over what was left of Blaeu's plates. New plates were engraved, and Mortier re-issued Blaeu's Townbooks of Italy with a mixture of the old and the new, including fine, large panoramas of Genoa, Venice and Naples, as well as many other detailed plates of Italian towns and cities, and put his name on nearly all of them. These seem to have been largely provided by his friend the philosopher and lawyer Carlo-Emanuele Vizzani (1617-1661) whom he knew from his travels in Italy during his Youth (Van der Krogt 43:222.1-4). The Willem Janszoon Blaeu printing house was one of the largest in the world and Joan the Elder was assisted by his sons Willem, Pieter and Joan II. Their endeavours insured Blaeu maps were, and still are, renowned for the consummate care and attention apparent in every stage of production - using only the best paper with finely engraved plates and a high standard of printing.

Title and Description: This copper engraving is part of "Nouveau Théâtre d'Italie ou description exacte de ses villes, palais, églises, etc…" Published by Pierre/Pieter Mortier after the original engravings of Joan Blaeu, in Amsterdam, 1704. Sheet size: H 540 x W 310 mm or 21.3 by 12.2 inches. The engraving is in good condition (as shown in the photo), there are NO cuts or holes or restorations, only few small imperfections. Printed on laid paper with chain lines with wide and original margins. No text on the back. Beautiful detailed engraving drawn with great skill, one of the best productions of Dutch illustrators of the 17th century.

Authors/Illustrators: Upon the completion of the eleven-volume Atlas Maior in 1662, Joan/Johannes Blaeu (1596-1673) set about the publication of another gigantic atlas, a multi-volume atlas of the towns and monuments of Italy, the "Theatrum civitatum et admirandorum Italiae". The work was to be in two parts, each consisting of five “books”: the first part would cover the towns of Italy, with the second dealing with the monuments of Rome. Joan Blaeu would only manage to publish three volumes of the atlas within his lifetime. Theses were: the towns of the Ecclesiastical States consisting of 66 maps; the first book of the second part: 44 plates depicting Rome’s ancient theatre’s and circuses as they were in ancient times, and as they were at the time of publication; the part of the second book of the first part, consisting of 33 views and plans of the Kingdoms of Naples and Sicily. Pierre/Pieter Mortier (1661-1711) reissued all the Blaeu maps in the years 1704/05 in an atlas, the present work, comprising four volumes. He amended and retouched several of the Blaeu maps and put his name on nearly all of them. He added many new maps of his own design, filling the gaps of the first part of the atlas.
