Byzantium Nunc Constantinopolis by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg is a spectacular 16th-century bird’s-eye view of Constantinople, the city once known as Byzantium and later Istanbul. Published in the Civitates Orbis Terrarum (1572–1617), the map captures the city's skyline as seen from the Sea of Marmara, with prominent landmarks like the Hagia Sophia, the Hippodrome, and the city's formidable walls. The title emphasizes its layered historical identity, and the engraving combines topographical detail with artistic flourishes, including Ottoman figures, ships, and decorative borders. The print was made using copperplate engraving and often hand-colored for collectors and scholars.
Georg Braun, a cleric and scholar, compiled descriptions and texts for the Civitates, while Frans Hogenberg, a master engraver, translated these visions into intricate urban panoramas. Based in Cologne, the duo’s project was the most ambitious early modern city atlas, combining geography, history, and political awareness. Their view of Constantinople is especially valuable as it documents the city during its Ottoman period while maintaining a Renaissance fascination with classical and medieval heritage. Their collaboration shaped how early modern Europeans visualized world cities.
