This copper engraving is a panoramic view of the city of Rotterdam, seen from the river Maas. The view details the dense skyline, characterized by numerous church spires, towers, and windmills, reflecting its status as a major port and mercantile center in the Low Countries. The foreground shows ships of various sizes on the water. The print was published in a major 17th-century geographical compendium documenting European cities.
Matthäus Merian was a Swiss-born engraver, draftsman, and publisher who worked primarily in Frankfurt. He became one of the most prolific and most important publishers of his era, best known for his immense series of topographical volumes, the Topographia Germaniae, and his numerous illustrated Bibles. His highly detailed city views and maps established a critical visual record of 17th-century Europe.
