Gezicht op Palermo met de Molo Nuovo 1595 - 1601

Joris Hoefnagel's "Gezicht op Palermo met de Molo Nuovo" is a detailed pen and ink drawing depicting the city of Palermo, Sicily, from a bird's eye perspective. The drawing, dated between 1595 and 1601, showcases the city's harbor, the Molo Nuovo (New Wharf), and the surrounding mountains. The meticulously rendered buildings, ships, and landscape offer a valuable glimpse into the urban environment of the late 16th century. This drawing is part of the extensive collection at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
