Vestingplattegrond van Rue 1656

This 1656 drawing, created by an anonymous artist, is a detailed map of the Dutch fortified city of Rue. The artwork depicts the city's layout and surrounding landscape in a clear and concise manner, highlighting the strategic importance of the city's defenses. The use of vibrant colors, particularly in the depiction of the city's walls and surrounding farmland, contributes to the aesthetic appeal of the map. This work is a testament to the cartographic skills of the 17th century and offers a glimpse into the urban planning and defense strategies of the time.
