Certainly, it is not only the title of this canvas that is German: it was in fact printed by the Probst publishers, owners of a lively printing house in Augsburg, Bavaria, in the 18th century, from which the splendid perspective views of almost all the main European cities originated. Not only were the printers Teutonic: the draftsman who traced the profile of the Lombard capital with great elegance was also Teutonic. We are talking about Friedrich Bernhard Werner, a true master in this field, whose works have often reached us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo tell the truth, this German perspective view of Milan also has the style, or rather the taste, of the customary Nordic habit of raising the towers and highlighting the domes, to bring Milan even closer to cities that are properly Central European. In particular, this map was printed in 1730 and depicts a city that is completely recognizable to the contemporary observer. The draftsman here highlights the unmistakable Duomo, accompanied by the Sforza Castle and the many other bell towers that are easily recognizable at a glance. The less experienced observer need only rely on the rich legend at the bottom, with over 60 entries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA perspective view of Hapsburg Milan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the time of this perspective view, Milan was firmly in the hands of the Hapsburgs, whose dominion had been confirmed by the treaties of Utrecht and Rastatt. The German style, one might say, is therefore particularly appropriate. As the most attentive observers will certainly notice, this reproduction, to faithfully reproduce the 18th-century original, is composed of four distinct cotton sheets, then mounted \"in sections\" on canvas. The publishers of the time habitually used this technique to facilitate the transport and preservation of the canvases. But that's not all: like the original, this perspective view of Milan was also printed with a manual press, starting from copper matrices engraved by true artists in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*** Our canvases are printed with a manual press and are produced only upon request.
