摘要：Many important features of Bratislava cultural heritage are contained in historical documents such as veduta, paintings, old maps and rare writings and books. In addition to recording historical events, these are irreplaceable for identifying the city’s spatial development and changes in land use. One of the first veduta of such scale portrays a panoramic view of Bratislava and its surrounds from the festive atmosphere of the first Bratislava coronation of Emperor Maximilian II as King of Hungary on September 8, 1563. Although the painter’s intention was to provide a cartoon report of this ceremony, he left an excellent period-image of the landscape from the second half of the 16th century by entering the original and some current names for the various visible objects directly into the veduta. This therefore presents a most interesting and unique panorama of the city where, in addition to coronation festivities, the painter excelled in depicting the urban, river, wine and forest landscapes and also captured the road network. The images radiate great dynamism, capturing the bustling atmosphere of the coronation celebrations around Bratislava. For us, however, the geographic view of the land use from that time is extremely important and unique because this has seldom been captured in olden painting and art. These testimonies of the times are therefore very important monuments of our former landscape.
