Tripolis, una estampa sin colorar de Cornelis de Bruyn (1698) que muestra una gran doble vista de Trípoli, Líbano, con dimensiones 27 cm por 38,7 cm, edición rara de la primera edición.
Descripción del vendedor
Impressive double-view of TRIPOLI on the Northern-Lebanese coast.
Drawn from nature by the famous Dutch traveler and topographer Cornelis de Bruyn (1652-1726) during his voyage to the Levant.
This double-view (plate Nr.151 and 152) is often mistaken is being of Tripoli in Libya, while the author/ painter clearly describes in his book the visit to Tripoli in Lebanon . He never visited Libya.
The upper depiction features the view from the Mediterranean Sea towards the old harbor of Tripoli, namely EL-MINA, the commercial and fishing port of Tripoli since ancient Phoenician times, together with the famous landmark Barsbay Tower, also known as Lions Tower, a small Mamluk military fortress.
The bottom view depicts a scene within the city along Kadisha River (=Abu Ali River) with the large building being the Palace of the Pasha.
Etching with original center fold.
RARE FIRST EDITION. Dated: Delft, 1698. Published in " Reizen van Cornelis de Bruyn...".
(Later editions will title this print: Marina di Tripoli)
Tight margins at the right and left as originally issued to fit the book. Untrimmed!
Size of the whole sheet: 39, 5 x 33 cm
Excellent condition! Strong and fresh paper quality, clear imprint of the etching.
