EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable engraving of the "Map of Europe" created by the renowned cartographer Willem Janszoon Blaeu in 1638. The intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship of this historical piece transport us back to a time when exploration and discovery were at their peak. Blaeu's map, now part of a private collection, offers an invaluable glimpse into the European continent during the 17th century. It provides an extensive overview of geographical features, including the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic Ocean, which played crucial roles in shaping Europe's history. The delicately engraved lines depict borders between nations that have evolved significantly over time. As we study this map, we can't help but marvel at how it captures both familiar territories and long-lost kingdoms that have since faded into obscurity. Luisa Ricciarini skillfully photographed this treasured artwork, ensuring its preservation for generations to come. Through her lens, she brings out every minute detail with precision and clarity while maintaining respect for Blaeu's original vision. As we gaze upon this stunning image, let us appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical significance it holds. This map serves as a testament to human curiosity and our eternal quest for knowledge about our world.
