PAY IN THREE INSTALLMENTS WITH PAYPAL

This evocative map of the Bishopric of Brescia and Milan, created by the renowned Flemish cartographer Jodocus Hondius in the early 17th century, depicts a vast area of Lombardy with extraordinary precision and artistic flair. The map's geographic center is the city of Bergamo, but the engraving extends to include key cities and territories such as Milan, Brescia, Cremona, and the major lake basins of northern Italy, including Lake Como, Lake Iseo, and Lake Garda.

The map covers the region between Lake Como and Lake Garda, extending southward to the banks of the Po River, offering a comprehensive view of the northern heart of the peninsula during a time of great political and religious turmoil. The primary purpose of the work is to illustrate the bishopric's boundaries and centers of power; but Hondius goes far beyond its mere administrative function, incorporating naturalistic details and settlements with remarkable accuracy.

The elegant decorative title blovk containing the title, richly decorated in the Flemish Baroque style, adds to the work's charm, making it a prized object for both contemporary observers and modern collectors. A perfect example of Hondius's cartographic mastery, who left a visual legacy of great impact for the historical understanding of Lombardy.
