"Kaart van Luxemburg" is a 1637 map of Luxembourg by Flemish cartographer Melchior Tavernier. The map is created in the style of a "carte figurative," a type of map common in the 16th and 17th centuries that utilized artistic flourishes to represent topography and cities. Tavernier's map, now held in the Rijksmuseum, shows the region's physical features with symbolic details like stylized forests and towns represented by small drawings.
