Summary
Giuseppe Rosaccio: Veduta Skradin / Scardona
Copper engraving
From the work: Viaggio da Venetia, a Costantinopoli : per mare, e per terra & insieme quello di Terra Santa, Venice, Giacomo Franco, 1598
Veduta shows Skradin after the Turkish conquests. The mosque that was adapted by the Turks after the conquest is shown on the site of the old Catholic church. On the view there is a fortress where the princes of Bribirski dined and the Orthodox church of St. Fridays. In 1647, the Republic of Venice freed Skradin from Turkish rule.
It is based on a view made by Božo Bonifačić for Comocio's isola in 1571, which served as a template for Rosaccio.
Giuseppe Rosaccio (ca. 1530-1620), Italian cosmographer who worked in Venice. His most famous works are "Teatro del Cielo e Terra Florence" from 1594, the edition of Ptolemy's "Mode elementa" from 1604 and "Teatro del Cielo" from 1615. The most significant for the Croatian countries is his "Viaggio da Venetia a Constantinopoli" book with depictions of all major islands and ports on the way from Venice to Constantinople, which saw several editions from 1597 onwards.
