Beskrivning

This detailed, hand-coloured Map, titled "Urbis Romae Novissima Delineatio" (Latest Delineation of the City of Rome), provides a bird's-eye view of Rome, Italy. The map depicts the walled, late Renaissance city, emphasizing the density of the red-roofed buildings, the curvature of the Tiber River, and the surrounding seven hills and historical ruins. A large block of text and a detailed, numbered legend below the main image identify various ancient monuments and modern churches within the city's circuit. This topographical and urban view is a characteristic plate from Giacomo Lauro's major work, Antiquae Urbis Splendor (The Splendor of the Ancient City), which documented the monuments of both ancient and modern Rome.

Giacomo Lauro was an Italian engraver, printer, and publisher active in Rome, known primarily for his extensive visual documentation of the city's antiquities. His work was highly sought after and served as an important source for artists and travelers in the 17th century.
