Gezicht op Loreto in vogelvluchtperspectief 1693 - 1717

This anonymous 17th-century drawing from the Rijksmuseum depicts a bird's-eye view of Loreto, Italy, a pilgrimage site containing the Holy House, a small house believed to be where the Virgin Mary was born. Surrounded by a laurel wreath and situated within a yellow rectangle, the drawing presents a detailed image of the town's architecture, showcasing its walled fortifications, churches, and a prominent domed building, likely the Basilica della Santa Casa, the site's most important landmark. This small yet intricate work is a testament to the popularity of Loreto and its significance for pilgrims across Europe.
