EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Map of Azores" by Abraham Ortelius, a renowned cartographer from the 16th century. The map, originally published in 1570 as part of his masterpiece "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" offers a fascinating glimpse into the archipelago's geography during that era. With its full-length view and front-facing perspective, this studio-shot image allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of Ortelius' work. The Azores, an enchanting group of islands located off the coast of Portugal, are beautifully depicted on this historical map. As we explore it further, our eyes are drawn to a sailing boat gracefully navigating through the surrounding sea. This addition not only adds depth to the composition but also emphasizes the importance of maritime exploration during that time. Ortelius' mastery in cartography is evident in this horizontal illustration and painting. The Western script used throughout provides additional authenticity to this piece of art and craft. With no people present in the image, our focus remains solely on appreciating Ortelius' skillful depiction of physical geography. This print serves as a testament to both Ortelius' legacy and his contribution to nautical navigation through his detailed maps. It invites us to embark on a journey back in time while marveling at how far cartography has come since then. Whether you're an avid historian or simply fascinated by ancient maps, this artwork is sure to captivate your imagination with its rich history
