AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A splendid and sharp aerial perspective view of the Piedmontese town of Ormea (Cuneo), titled "Ormea lat. Ulmeta", published in Amsterdam by the eminent publisher and cartographer Pierre Mortier (1661–1711).
The print offers a detailed depiction of the fortified town situated in the upper Tanaro Valley, framed by the imposing surrounding mountain peaks.
In the upper left is depicted the heraldic coat of arms of the Dukes of Savoy, while in the lower right a winged putto supports a scroll bearing the title "Ormea lat. Ulmeta".
This engraving, based on the original drawing by Giovanni Tommaso Borgonio, forms part of Mortier's famous production of views and maps that he republished in Amsterdam in the early eighteenth century within his renowned collections dedicated to the Savoy States and to Italy (Nouveau Théâtre d'Italie).
The work stands out for the delicacy of the copper-engraving done with burin and etching, faithfully depicting the ancient urban fabric, the defensive walls, and the castle on the rock.
An excellent piece of considerable historical-collectible interest.
Dimensions 62 x 72 cm
