About this Item

Amsterdam: Pieter MORTIER, ca. 1704. Double-page engraving (21 ½ x 25 ½ inches; 14 ½ x 19 inches plate size) of the CAMALDOLI MONASTERY in the Tuscan Apennines north of Arezzo from Mortier's "Nouveau Theatre d' Italie," an extensive Grand Tour in book form based on Joan Blaeu's designs for his 1663 "Theatrum Civitatum et Admirandorum Italiae." Condition: excellent with full margins and minimal foxing (minor stain in right margin); later color. Prospect of the Holy Hermitage and Monastery of Camaldoli founded by the Benedictine Saint Romuald in 1012. The proto-oratory had already fallen into disrepair when a new church was built in the 13th century. It was consecrated by Ugolino dei Conti di Segni (the future Pope Gregory IX) in 1220. Transformation works were undertaken in 1256, 1295, and 1373.
