This extraordinary 1646 copperplate edition shows Europe personified as a queen—one of the most coveted anthropomorphic maps of the Renaissance era.
Created by Protestant theologian Heinrich Bünting, this rare Brunswick edition features:
• Spain as her crown (symbolizing Hapsburg power)
• Bohemia as her heart
• Sicily as her orb
• The British Isles perched near her shoulder
• Greece and the Baltics forming her flowing skirt
The imagery traces back to the 14th century, celebrating Europe as the Mother Church while honoring the triumph of the Hapsburg dynasty. A fascinating blend of cartography, politics, and mythology frozen in copper.
