This engraving is a sheet from the first edition from 1624, not a reprint.
The "In Triplicem Furiam" is one of the views of Stuttgart created by the 17th century engraver Matthaeus Merian. This view shows Bad Cannstatt, which is now a district of Stuttgart. Let's take a closer look at it!
The picture shows a woman in a magnificent carriage at the front, pulled by a fox, peacock and cat. At the back is Kanstadt (as it was then called) with its town church and Stuttgart, connected by a bridge over the Neckar.
The picture was framed with a delicate silver moulding in the 1970s.
On the reverse you can see the details of the art gallery with the text accompanying the picture.
The Art house and Gallery Keim exists to this day.
