"Jodocus: Mapping the World and Capturing History" Step into the 17th century as we explore the captivating world of Jodocus. Known for his exceptional cartography skills, Jodocus Hondius left an indelible mark on history through his intricate maps. His masterpieces include a detailed map of Europe, showcasing the ever-changing political landscape of that time. From bustling cities to vast landscapes, this map provides a glimpse into the rich tapestry of European life during this period. Venturing further, Jodocus delved into uncharted territories with his map of the New World. With meticulous precision, he depicted unknown lands and exotic flora and fauna that ignited curiosity among explorers and dreamers alike. South America also found its place in Jodocus' cartographic repertoire. His map unraveled the mysteries hidden within this enchanting continent - from dense rainforests to majestic mountain ranges - inviting adventurers to embark on daring expeditions. But it wasn't just maps that defined Jodocus' legacy; he also contributed to art history. The portraits he created for panels adorning Ghent Altarpiece showcased his artistic prowess. Lysbette Borluut's delicate features and Joost Vijdt's dignified countenance immortalized their presence for generations to come. Intriguingly, one of Jodocus' maps revealed Japan as an island when it was still believed otherwise in other parts of the world. This groundbreaking revelation challenged existing beliefs about geography at that time and opened up new possibilities for exploration. As we delve deeper into history, we encounter street crime captured in a woodcut from 1554—a stark reminder that even amidst grand discoveries, society faced its own challenges which shaped everyday life during those tumultuous times. Juxtaposing past with present brings us face-to-face with Sir Francis Drake through cigarette cards from 1935—an enduring testament to how historical figures continue to captivate our imagination across centuries.
