    Tanja Michalsky is director at the Bibliotheca Hertziana – Max Planck Institute for Art History in Rome and head of the department "City and Space in the Pre-Modern Era", which is dedicated to the understanding of historical spaces in media-critical reflection: texts, images, maps, and films are analysed from an epistemological perspective as producers of space and also examined in their interplay. The focus is on southern Italy and Naples. She has worked particularly on the Angevin dynastical tombs in Naples as an example of political and social memory and representation, on the epistemes of cartography and visual art in the Early Modern Netherlands, as well as on the medial differentiation of national spaces.

Abstract

In 1582, the Dutch draughtsman Jan van Stinemolen completed a monumental panorama of the city of Naples. The distinctive feature of this work in ink on paper, which is now kept in the Albertina in Vienna, is that it does not show the conventional view of the city from the gulf, but rather from the mainland. Surprisingly, however, this original work – well known both to scholars of Neapolitan topography and to those studying Dutch drawing – has not yet received adequate interpretative attention. The contributions gathered in this issue seek to fill this gap, employing new analytical tools to present fresh perspectives on the work and to highlight its distinctive qualities.
