Perspective plan of Venice
by BARBARI, Jacopo de', Woodcut produced with six blocks, 135 x 282 cm
In 1500, the Venetian artist and printer Jacopo de Barbari had Anton Koberger of Nuremberg print a woodcut of Venice in which he had depicted all the buildings, gardens and islands of Venice at that time in minute detail. As a result, Barbari’s plan gives us a precise idea of the appearance of Venice in about 1500.
