This fine Renaissance double prospect originates from Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg's famed town atlas, Civitates Orbis Terrarum. The print depicts two key historic cities along the Rhône River in southeastern France: Lyon (Lugdunum) on the upper panel and Vienne (Vienna) on the lower panel. Delineated by Flemish artist Joris (Georg) Hoefnagel after earlier prototypes, the views combine accurate topographical detail with scenic artistic compositions characteristic of late 16th-century cartography. The upper image illustrates Lyon with its city walls, church spires, and river commerce on the Saône and Rhône, anchored by a key identifying twelve key municipal landmarks. The lower panel depicts Vienne, showcasing its extensive stone walls and the dramatic ruins of the Château de Pipet perched atop the hill overlooking the valley.
