Description
Highly detailed view of the lagoon city of Venice, compiled in the early 18th century & issued by Georg Balthasar Georg Balthasar Probst. 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 & gondolas on the canals, as well as a full view of the islands of Sacca & 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, & 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 & 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 & labeled in an extensive trilingual key along the top (German) & bottom (Italian & Latin respectively) of the sheet. Despite being more than 300 years old, one could almost navigate Venice today using this wonderful view of the city.
