EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Female personification of Geography on chariot and continents America, Africa, Asia and Europe" by Cornelis van Dalen II, created between 1648-1664. The image depicts a powerful female figure representing Geography gracefully riding a majestic chariot drawn by lions. With each continent symbolically portrayed - America, Africa, Asia, and Europe - this masterpiece beautifully captures the essence of global diversity. Notably, the artist incorporates various attributes to represent each continent; an elephant for Asia, a camel for Africa, an armadillo for America. These unique choices add depth to the artwork's symbolism and highlight the distinct characteristics of these regions. What sets this piece apart is its remarkable attention to detail. Instead of opting for conventional representations like angels or cherubs accompanying Geography's journey through continents, Van Dalen II surprises us with little alligators and crocodiles in flight alongside her chariot. The air around her seems alive as delicate cloth drapes from her arms while she confidently guides her lion-drawn carriage across landmasses. This portrayal deviates from traditional depictions but adds an intriguing twist that captivates viewers' imagination. In Quint Lox's skillful capture of this print from Liszt Collection, we are invited into a world where geography comes alive through artistry. It serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness across borders and celebrates the beauty found within our diverse planet.
