Bilder Jaques Gabriel Huquier – View of Toledo, Spain – Engraving (c.1760s)

Beskrivning

This hand-coloured optical print by Jaques Gabriel Huquier offers a panoramic perspective of Toledo, one of Spain’s most historic and architecturally rich cities. Perched above the Tagus River, the cityscape highlights Toledo’s fortified walls, clustered medieval buildings, and prominent cathedral spires, evoking its significance as a religious and cultural crossroads of Christian, Muslim, and Jewish traditions. 

Huquier, a French engraver and publisher, was known for his scenic and architectural views that combined artistic charm with documentary precision. This work was printed in Paris by Huquier fils and sold at his shop “chez lui,” rue St. Jacques, as part of a series depicting cities under foreign rule.
