EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed section of an ancient nautical atlas, created in 1520 by the talented Giovanni Xenodocus da Corfu. The artwork, inked on vellum, beautifully depicts the stunning regions of Provence and Italy. With its intricate cartography and precise mapping techniques, this piece offers a glimpse into the navigational knowledge of the 16th century. The image transports us to a time when sailors relied on portolan charts like these to navigate through treacherous waters. The Mediterranean Sea takes center stage, with Corsica and Sardinia prominently featured alongside the Adriatic coast of Croatia. Every coastal detail is meticulously rendered, showcasing ports and landmarks crucial for seafaring journeys. As we explore this historical artifact further, it becomes evident that Venice and Genoa played significant roles in maritime trade during that era. These bustling cities served as important hubs for merchants and explorers alike. Preserved within Museo Correr in Venice today, this exquisite work of art reminds us of the rich history embedded within maps and charts. It serves as a testament to human curiosity about our surroundings and our relentless pursuit to understand them better. Through this photograph from Fine Art Finder at www. bridgemanart. com, we are granted access to an extraordinary piece of history that continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty.
