Antique Map of Rouffach Cityscape Canvas | Matte Stretched Wall Art

Fine 16th-century city view of Rouffach in Alsace from Civitates Orbis Terrarum, the great city-atlas of Georg Braun & Frans Hogenberg. The Latin title at upper left reads “Rubeacum, vulgo Ruffach”, and the scene shows the walled town nestled below the hilltop fortress of Château d’Isenbourg. Within the fortifications you can see tightly packed red-roofed houses, churches, and town gates, with three elegantly dressed figures promenading in the foreground. About Rouffach: Rouffach is a historic wine-growing town in the Upper Rhine, on what is now the famous Alsace Wine Route between Colmar and Mulhouse. In the Middle Ages it was an important small episcopal center, dominated by its Gothic church and the castle above the vineyards. This engraving captures Rouffach at the height of its early modern prosperity, long before modern redevelopment, making it a wonderful document for anyone with connections to Alsace or an interest in early town views. Details: Antique hand-colored copper engraving from Braun & Hogenberg’s Civitates Orbis Terrarum, ca. late 16th–early 17th century Latin title: Rubeacum, vulgo Ruffach Shows the fortified town, surrounding countryside, and Château d’Isenbourg Beautiful, bright later hand color (greens, blues, and warm reds) This stretched matte canvas brings a timeless, historical scene into your home with subtle, museum-quality finish. The softened matte coating reduces glare while keeping fine map-like details crisp and warm—great for studies, libraries, or anyone who loves cartographic art. Stretched over a slender 1.25" pine profile, the print hangs flush and stable thanks to soft rubber dots and built-in hanging hardware. The look is quietly vintage: muted colors, hand-drawn topography and a lived-in texture that invites closer inspection and quiet conversation.
