Description
This is a rather beautiful bird's-eye-view of the Bay of Naples, with Naples and the mountains of Vesuvius and Somma in the distance. The Castello St. Elmo is shown perched atop the hill overlooking the bay, and in the foreground of the view, the ancient Grotto of Pausilipo winds through to the town of Pozzuoli. There are numerous figures filling the view, including travelers and a shepherd serenading his flock with a pipe. The road in front is the Camino per Roma, leading to Rome. There is an index of 12 sights on the view in the lower right. In 1577 Ortelius and Hoefnagle traveled throughout Italy resulting in Hoefnagle's numerous depictions of towns and landscapes in Braun and Hogenberg's great topographical work. This plate bears Hoefnagle's imprint at lower right. Latintext on verso.
