{"product_id":"plattegrond-van-den-haag-jacques-de-gheyn-ii","title":"Plattegrond van Den Haag - Jacques de Gheyn II","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed seventeenth-century bird's-eye view of The Hague, featuring precise urban mapping and decorative heraldic cartouches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis detailed bird's-eye view of The Hague, executed by Jacques de Gheyn II, provides a precise record of the city's urban layout during the late sixteenth century. The print captures the distinctive structure of the town, including the Binnenhof complex and the Hofvijver, which remain central to the city's geography today. De Gheyn employs a high vantage point to map the streets, canals, and surrounding agricultural plots, offering a clear view of the transition between the built environment and the rural periphery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is framed by elaborate cartouches, which were intended to hold descriptive text or dedications. These decorative elements feature heraldic motifs and figures, reflecting the conventions of early modern cartographic publishing. At the base of the print, small figures are depicted in contemporary dress, providing a sense of scale and human activity within the urban space. The precision of the line work allows for the identification of individual buildings and the density of the city blocks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJacques de Gheyn II was a versatile artist, known for his work in various print media. His technical skill is evident in the clarity of the street patterns and the subtle shading used to define the topography. This work functions as both a functional map and a decorative object, typical of the period's interest in documenting civic growth and administrative centres. The print provides a window into the urban planning of the Dutch Republic, showing how the city was organised around its political and religious institutions. The inclusion of coats of arms and ornamental borders suggests that this map was produced for a sophisticated audience, likely intended for display in a study or administrative office. It remains a primary source for historians interested in the development of The Hague.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/bordeaux-son-port-ses-monuments-ses-vins-jean-dupas\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eBordeaux: Son Port, Ses Monuments, Ses Vins - Jean Dupas — Jean Dupas\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/plantae-selectae-no-58-corallodendron-georg-dionysius-ehret\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePlantae Selectae: No. 58 - Corallodendron - Georg Dionysius Ehret — Georg Dionysius Ehret\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Jacob de Gheyn II","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58588517335375,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58588587884879,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58588587917647,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58588587950415,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58588587983183,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58588588015951,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58588588048719,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58588588081487,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58588588114255,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58588588147023,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58588588179791,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58588588212559,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Plattegrond-van-Den-Haag_Poster_CompositorV1_1787903282017.jpg?v=1787903543","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/plattegrond-van-den-haag-jacques-de-gheyn-ii","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
