[Ναύπλιο, / Nafplio] Romeyn de Hooghe, "Veroverig van Napoli di Romania", Amsterdam, 1687. Dim.38x31cm. Romeyn de Hooghe was one of the most important late baroque Dutch painters and engravers. This extremely rare copper engraved view of the Venetian attack on the Nafplion castles in 1686, was probably initially drawn from an eyewitness. Morosinis conquests in the Morea had a great impact all around Europe. Within this frame, Romeyn de Hooghe prepared a painting of the Nafplio attack (this view), now in the Dutch National Gallery. Based on this painting and just after, he engraved and separately printed this view signed, "R. de Hoogh fecit". Only two copies of this copper engraved view survive in Public libraries (Dutch National Library and BNF). The current copy has survived almost intact, just lightly folded, probably to be inserted in a collection of prints. An extremely rare, early view of Nafplio made by a famous painter.
