No Binding. Condición: Very Good. A stunning and highly detailed view of the lagoon city of Venice, compiled in the early 18th century and issued by Probst, Augsburg s most famous publishing dynasty. Details This large and stunning depiction of the lagoon city of Venice is one of the best in a series of powerful urban vistas published by Georg Balthasar Probst in the mid-18th century. Several generations of the Probst Family had issued city panoramas from across the European continent, but this particular view was originally drawn by German artist, Friedrich Bernhard Werner. In 1730, Werner visited Venice, Genoa, and a number of other Italian cities on commission from Probst s grandfather, the pioneering Augsburg publisher Jeremias Wolff. The goal of Werner s trip was to compile a series of urban views that Wolff intended to publish. In his autobiography, Werner explains how he created the current grand vista of Venice by combining a selection of drawings and sketches that he had produced on site. Werner compiled several such panoramas for the Probst firm, all of which are distinguished by their size and impressive detail, not to mention a numbered key to identify important sites and buildings. The panorama provides a full view of the Venice skyline as seen from the south. As it includes the lagoon islands fronting the old city, the vantage point for composing this impressive overview must have been the slightly more distant lagoon island of La Grazia. Providing a perspective from the harbor front, the vista includes ships and gondolas on the canals, as well as a full view of the islands of Sacca and Giudecca in the foreground. Within the city proper, the center of the view is dominated by the lively Piazza San Marco (71), which in turn is flanked by the massive Campanile or bell tower (39) on the left, and the famous Chiesa San Marco (42) on the right. In the piazza itself, we see Venetians engaged in trade, viewing spectacles, or simply strolling through the city. Hovering in the skies above, we find a large title banner set on a ribbon of Venetian silk and flanked on the left by the city s coat of arms: the winged lion of St. Mark. As is usually the case with Werner s views, all of Venice s many historic landmarks have been numbered and labeled in an extensive trilingual key along the top (German) and bottom (Italian and Latin respectively) of the sheet. The key includes 86 important and identifiable locations distributed throughout the city, allowing the modern viewer to find and recognize most if not all of the historic buildings that adorn Venice. In addition to the Piazza San Marco and Campanile, we note the presence of architectural icons such as the Basilica Santa Maria della Salute (10), La Zecca or the mint (73), la Magistrata alla Sanità (74), la Arsenale (60), the Doge Palace (75), and the Chiesa del Santissimo Redentore (81) on the island of Giudecca. Add to this a cornucopia of churches, palaces, villas, and gardens; all for our viewing pleasure. Despite being more than 300 years old, one could almost navigate Venice today using this wonderful view of the city.
