Gezicht op Kassel 1652

"Gezicht op Kassel" is an anonymous 17th-century engraving depicting an aerial view of the German city of Kassel. The intricate detail showcases the city's layout, including its fortifications, buildings, and surrounding countryside. This bird's-eye perspective is a hallmark of 17th-century city views, providing valuable insight into the urban planning and architecture of the time. The presence of coats of arms and the Latin inscription "Casselvm Vige Collis" suggests the print was likely commissioned for official purposes or as a commemorative piece. This engraving stands as a testament to the artistic and cartographic skills of the anonymous artist.
