In order to know and study the city a meticulous analysis of the urban cartography produced throughout its history is essential. It is necessary to carry out an approach at different scales. This allows bringing together the definition of geography itself, the history of drawing, the evolution of the graphical language, the time period and the objective of the image,along with the draughtsman, his training, and his tools and techniques. In the case of Anton van den Wyngaerde’s View of Granada, progress achieved in drawing techniques during the Renaissance together with Philip II’s unique commission, lead us to apply a magnifying glass reading methodology.Downloads
