 The woodcut map of the Holy Roman Empire by Sebastian Münster is an important cartographic testimony of the 16th century, depicting in great detail the vast territory that included Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Austria, and Bohemia (modern-day Czech Republic). Characterized by an unusual orientation with the south placed at the top of the page, the map offers an original yet precise view of the political and geographical structure of one of the main European empires of the time. Created using the woodcut technique, it combines scientific rigor and artistic quality, representing borders, major cities, and key landscape features essential for understanding the historical and territorial framework of the Renaissance.

The work embodies the Renaissance aim of knowing and representing the world with accuracy and beauty, thus serving as an emblematic example of how art and science were intertwined in the historical maps of the era. Owning this map means engaging with a fundamental piece of European history and its cartographic representation.
