Popis: | In 1544 Pedro de Guevara executed his plan to reform the defenses of Valencia. This is the first “reliable” cartographic representation of the city and constitutes a paradigmatic example of the so-called Transitional Fortification, but also involves the introduction of the new renaissance way of representing the city, in which the image acquires a strong will to objectivity, clearly different from the idealized graphical view of previous centuries. |
