EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Maltese Galley Running Before the Wind (End of 17th Century). This evocative print captures the essence of maritime history with a stunning depiction of a Maltese galley from the end of the 17th century. The Maltese Islands, located in the Mediterranean Sea, have a rich maritime tradition that dates back thousands of years. Galley ships, with their distinctive long, narrow hulls and lateen sails, were a common sight in the Mediterranean during this period. The Maltese galley in this print is shown skillfully maneuvering before the wind, a testament to the sailors' expertise and the ship's design. The lateen sails, set at an angle to the mast, allow the vessel to make the most of the wind's direction. The oars, or "remes," are raised, indicating that the ship is under oar power when the wind is not favorable. The print's intricate details reveal the galley's elegant lines and the precision of its construction. The ship's figurehead, a carved wooden representation of a mythological or religious figure, stands proudly at the bow. The rigging is meticulously rendered, and the sails are taut and full. The deck is bustling with activity, with sailors attending to various tasks, from trimming sails to tending to the ropes. This print offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to an era when the Mediterranean was a vital trade and transportation route. The Maltese galley, with its sleek design and the skill of its crew, was an essential component of this maritime world. This image is a testament to the enduring allure of the sea and the indomitable spirit of those who sailed its waters.
