This print showcases the exquisite "Planisphere of the work Summa of Cosmographia" created by Pedro de Medina in 1545. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this 16th-century masterpiece takes us on a journey through history and discovery. The planisphere, displayed horizontally in the National Library of Madrid, Spain, is a testament to Medina's skill as a cartographer. It offers a comprehensive view of cosmography during that era, providing valuable insights into how people perceived and understood the world at that time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back to an age when exploration was at its peak. The maps depicted within the planisphere represent various regions around the globe, reflecting both known territories and uncharted lands waiting to be discovered. Pedro de Medina's work holds immense historical significance as it captures not only geographical knowledge but also cultural exchanges between different civilizations. This planisphere serves as a window into an era marked by curiosity and ambition for exploration.
