MERIAN, Matthaus : Pignerol

170 x 335 mm., in good condition.

This view of Pignerol [Pinerolo] is from the 'Topographia Gallia' by Martin Zeiler published 1655-61. It formed just one volume of the 'Topographiae' series which began in 1642 with a volume on Switzerland and extended to much of Europe. The final work covers Italy in 1688. All of the plates were the work of Matthaus Merian (1593-1650). Born in Basle, Switzerland, he was one of the finest engravers of the seventeenth century. He was renowned for his town plans and views. He married the daughter of Theodore de Bry. At the time the Duchy of Savoy and Piedmont were under the influence of France. Pinerolo is situated 50 kilometres south west of Turin. Shirley (2004) G.Meri 22a.
