This beautifully-illustrated Braun & Hogenberg work from 1572 depicts both Orvieto, a central-Italian city located atop a steep rock formation, as well as Loreto, a coastal town just a few miles away. In the image's top register, two noble people overlook  Orvieto's iconic towers from a distance. Meanwhile, the lower register depicts Loreto as more of a working-class city due to its farmers laboring in the fields and the many ships sailing into its harbor.
