Bird's-eye View of a Town with a Street going up a Hill from Bottom Right to Top Left (N.H.) 1562

Editor: This intricate little print, "Bird's-eye View of a Town with a Street going up a Hill from Bottom Right to Top Left (N.H.)" by Joannes van Doetecum, is teeming with detail. The tiny figures and buildings remind me of a fantastical stage set. What do you make of it? Curator: It’s like peering into someone’s memory, isn't it? All those tiny details meticulously rendered, yet slightly skewed, almost dreamlike. Perhaps the artist wasn't just showing us a place, but how they felt about it. Do you notice how the perspective bends, almost as if inviting us to wander through? Editor: That's a lovely way to put it – like a memory! I hadn't considered that.
