EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Jodocus Hondius, a renowned Dutch artist from the 16th century. Titled "Freti Magellanici ac novi freti vulgo Le Maire exactissima delineatio" this piece is a true masterpiece in cartography and fine art. The image depicts an incredibly detailed map of the Freti Magellanici, commonly known as the Strait of Magellan, along with the newly discovered Le Maire Strait. Created around 1630, this copper engraving beautifully captures the historical significance and geographical intricacies of these important waterways. Hondius' meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush. The vibrant colors and delicate lines bring life to this ancient map, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in its rich history. As one gazes upon it, they are transported back in time to an era when exploration and discovery were at their peak. This particular print comes from a private collection, making it even more exclusive and valuable for collectors and enthusiasts alike. It serves as a testament to Hondius' artistic genius and his contribution to both cartography and graphic arts during his lifetime. With its depiction of Terra Australis (the southern land) and other notable landmarks within Magallanica (the region surrounding the straits), this print offers a fascinating glimpse into our past while simultaneously celebrating the beauty found within maps as works of art.
