EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a portrait of the renowned Claudius Ptolemy, also known as Ptolemee (Claudius Ptolemaeus 90-168), against the backdrop of the Waldseemuller map or Universalis Cosmographia - Waldseemuller Planisphere. Created in 1507 by Martin Waldseemuller, this masterpiece is considered one of the finest examples of Renaissance geographical maps. Ptolemy, an esteemed Greek astronomer and geographer from the 2nd century, is depicted here with great detail and precision. His intellectual prowess and contributions to our understanding of the world are evident in his thoughtful expression. This engraving beautifully captures his learned nature and deep connection to ancient Greece. The planisphere itself is a testament to Waldseemuller's skill as a cartographer. It presents a comprehensive view of Earth's geography during that time period, showcasing various regions with intricate details. The combination of Ptolemy's portrait alongside this remarkable map creates a harmonious blend between art and science. Displayed within this private collection, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both historical significance and artistic excellence. Giancarlo Costa has masterfully captured every nuance in his photography, allowing us to delve into the past while admiring its beauty in present times.
