Landscape of Southern Italy 1808
Composite: No.1 - 31. Regno di Napoli, Rizzi Zannoni, Giovanni Antonio, 1808
Antonio Rizzi Zannoni created a 31 sheet map of the Kingdom of Naples in 1808 that uses an unusual method of rendering topography - essentially a combination of hachuring and shading, along with oblique pictorial views of selected feature. The result is a stunning depiction of the southern Italian landscape in the early 19th century.
