EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Coast of Turkey and Cyprus" from a nautical atlas dating back to the 16th century. Created by Calopodio da Candia, an Italian cartographer, this ink on vellum masterpiece is now housed in the Museo Correr in Venice, Italy. The map itself is a testament to the artistry and precision of early cartography. It depicts the intricate details of Anatolia's coastline, including the Cilician Sea and Black Sea. The artist's skillful use of ink brings life to each contour and curve, allowing viewers to imagine sailing along these historic waters. One cannot help but be drawn into this ancient world through the inclusion of various flags representing different cities along the coast. These flags not only add color but also provide insight into trade routes and cultural exchanges that once thrived in this region. A compass rose elegantly positioned on the map serves as a reminder of how navigational tools were essential for sailors exploring uncharted territories during that era. This print captures both historical significance and artistic beauty. It invites us to appreciate not only Calopodio da Candia's talent but also his contribution to our understanding of maritime history. Whether you are a lover of maps or simply intrigued by tales from distant lands, this image transports you back in time while celebrating the timeless art form known as cartography.
