Bilder Georg Philipp Finckh after Philipp Apian (1531–1589) – Map of the Isar Valley and Tegernsee – Copperplate Engraving (1684)
Beskrivning
This historical map shows the course of the River Isar from Bad Tölz to Hinterriß, flanked by the Walchensee to the west and the Inn valley from Neubeuern to Kufstein in the east. It is Blatt 26 from the revised 1684 edition of the large regional map originally designed by the renowned Bavarian cartographer Philipp Apian in the 16th century.
Engraved by Georg Philipp Finckh, this edition presents a richly detailed copperplate map in German, highlighting key settlements, rivers, forested regions, and mountainous terrain across Upper Bavaria and the Alpine border. The cartographic style preserves the Renaissance-era accuracy and artistry of Apian while incorporating updated geographical knowledge of the late 17th century.
Philipp Apian (1531–1589) was a pioneering mathematician and cartographer who created the first scientifically surveyed map of Bavaria. Georg Philipp Finckh was commissioned to reengrave and expand Apian's cartographic legacy, resulting in a significant milestone in the history of German topography. This engraving was published in 1684.
