Hand-Painted Large Engraving of Jerusalem and Environs, by Dapper. Amsterdam, 1677. Bright hues
Engraving taken from the book Naukeurige beschrijving van gantsch Syrie, en Palestyn of Heilige lant, and hand-painted. Olfert Dapper was the author and engraver of this work. Dapper (1636-1689) was a Dutch doctor and author.
The engraving was influenced by a similar engraving by Václav Hollar (1607-1677), which in turn was based on the famed panorama of Juan Bautista Villalpando (1552-1608), which was copied many times over. Laor 999.
29.5x72 cm. Hand-painted. Fine-very fine condition. Fold marks. Framed.
