Antique Map of Brussels (1690) — Frederik de Wit, Brvxella City Plan

This extraordinary engraved city plan of Brussels, titled Brvxella, was created around 1690 by the renowned Dutch cartographer Frederik de Wit in Amsterdam.
It is among the most beautifully executed depictions of Brussels in the late 17th century, a time when the city flourished as a vital seat of commerce, architecture, and culture within the Spanish Netherlands.

Rendered in fine black line engraving, the map reveals a meticulously detailed urban layout, from the winding medieval streets and the Grand Place to the formidable city ramparts and bastions that once protected the capital.
Two elaborate cartouches list key landmarks, churches, and civic institutions, framed by rich baroque ornamentation and coats of arms.

De Wit’s Brvxella exemplifies the precision and grandeur of the Dutch Golden Age of cartography, where city plans were both instruments of knowledge and works of art.
A remarkable historical document and decorative masterpiece, it captures Brussels as it stood before the great transformations of the 18th and 19th centuries.

Printed on high-quality archival paper and restored to preserve its intricate linework, this print embodies both the elegance of the past and the timeless beauty of early urban cartography.
