EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the historic "Foundation of Hochelaga (Montreal)" as depicted in Giovanni Battista Ramusio's renowned work, Terzo volume delle Navigationi e viaggi nel quale si contengono le navigationi al Mondo Nuovo. Published in 1556, this engraving offers a glimpse into the early exploration and urban planning of Montreal during the 16th century. The image portrays an intriguing meeting between Europeans and Native American Indians within the city's outer walls. Jacques Cartier, a prominent figure in Canadian history, is believed to have discovered Hochelaga in 1535. The composition beautifully captures the landscape with its carefully designed layout and architectural elements. Ramusio, an Italian geographer known for his collection of travel writings, provides valuable insight into this significant moment in Canada's past. The print transports viewers back to a time when European explorers encountered indigenous peoples on their journeys across uncharted territories. As we observe this historical scene, it becomes evident that both cultures played pivotal roles in shaping Montreal's foundation. This artwork serves as a reminder of our shared history and highlights the importance of cultural exchange and understanding. Displayed at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this remarkable piece allows us to appreciate not only Ramusio's artistic talent but also his contribution to preserving these invaluable accounts of exploration for future generations.
