Notes
A fine, bright and attractive birds-eye view of Venice, surrounded by islands, and with the Alps standing guard on the horizon, below are two inset views of the Campanile and Piazza San Marco from the water and from the piazza, the title appears in Italian and German across the top. Seutter's engraving was issued at about the same time as Canaletto (1697-1768) was painting his iconic images of Venice.
Mattheus Seutter (1678-1757) the elder, first published his 'Atlas Geographicus' in 1720 and subsequently expanded it under the title 'Atlas Novus'.
