Faro di Messina oder Die Meer-Enge Zwischen Calabrien und Sicilien.

Perspective view of the Strait of Messina, with Reggio Calabria on the left, the city and Mount Etna on the right.

This is an anonymous view, without date or editorial indications, printed in Germany (probably Nuremberg or Frankfurt) in the first half of the 17th century.

Based on a model introduced by Peter Brueghel in the middle of the 16th century, the work depicts a naval battle in the straits.

Very rare.

Copperplate, excellent condition.
