The map of Brussels created by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg in 1567 is part of their famous work "Civitates Orbis Terrarum" or "Civitates," which is a collection of city views and maps from around the world. This atlas was published in multiple volumes between 1572 and 1617 and is considered one of the most important and influential works in the history of cartography.

Georg Braun (1541-1622) was a cleric and cartographer from Germany, known for his role as the editor of the "Civitates Orbis Terrarum." He was responsible for the textual descriptions that accompanied the city views in the atlas.

Frans Hogenberg (c. 1535-1590), a Flemish engraver and mapmaker, worked closely with Georg Braun and was responsible for creating many of the engravings used in the "Civitates." His artistic skills contributed significantly to the visual appeal of the city views.

The map of Brussels in the "Civitates" provides a detailed view of the city as it appeared in the late 16th century. It includes depictions of buildings, streets, fortifications, and other notable features of the city.

This map, like others in the "Civitates," is historically significant because it offers insights into the urban landscape, architecture, and layout of Brussels during the Renaissance period. It is a valuable resource for understanding the history and development of the city.

The map of Brussels, like all maps in the "Civitates," is known for its artistic quality and meticulous attention to detail. These city views are not only informative but also aesthetically pleasing examples of cartographic artistry.
