AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Fascinating sixteenth-century board divided into two overlapping horizontal registers dedicated to the Campi Flegrei.

The upper panel (PVTEOLI) offers a wide panoramic view of the city of Pozzuoli facing the gulf, with the ancient arches of the Roman pier (Ponte di Caligola) and, in the background, the Baia promontory (BAIAE) and Mount Nuovo (Mons nouus, formed in the eruption of 1538); in the foreground appear two travelers wearing Renaissance clothing.

The lower panel instead shows the Baia coast (BAIAE) dominated in the foreground on the right by the imposing ruins of the so-called Temple of Diana (TEMPLV DIANAE), animated by travelers on foot and on horseback, while on the sea sail and galley ships glide toward Pozzuoli (PVSSOL) on the left.

Stato di conservazione

• Incisione e Coloritura. Impressione molto nitida e ben contrastata, valorizzata da una gradevole coloritura ad acquerello d'epoca dai toni caldi e rosati nel cielo e ben conservati nei dettagli architettonici e naturali.
• Supporto e Margini. Foglio completo con ampi margini bianchi originali. Presente la consueta piega verticale centrale di legatura editoriale
