Vestingplattegrond van Luxemburg c. 1698 - 1728

"Vestingplattegrond van Luxemburg", a detailed map of the fortifications of Luxembourg City, was created by an anonymous artist sometime between 1698 and 1728. This elaborate engraving, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, offers a fascinating glimpse into the city's military defenses during a period of intense European conflict. The map, with its intricate lines and meticulous detail, highlights the importance of Luxembourg as a strategic stronghold. The artist's focus on the city's complex network of walls, bastions, and moats underscores the sophistication of 17th and 18th century military engineering.
