EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the maritime cities of Genoa and Venice, as depicted in a nautical atlas of the Mediterranean. Created by Calopodio da Candia during the 16th century, this ink on vellum masterpiece measures 40.3x60 cm and is currently housed at the Museo Correr in Venice, Italy. The image transports us back in time to an era when cartography was both an art form and a vital tool for seafarers. With intricate details and precision, da Candia captures the essence of these bustling Italian ports. The cityscapes are brought to life with vibrant colors and meticulous attention to architectural elements. As we explore this map-like artwork, our eyes are drawn to various symbols that represent key features of these maritime cities. A compass rose elegantly points towards true north while flags flutter atop prominent buildings, symbolizing their importance as trading hubs. Genoa's rich history as a major port city is evident through its grand palaces and fortified walls that line its picturesque harbor. Meanwhile, Venice enchants us with its iconic canals and magnificent architecture that seem to float upon water. This print not only celebrates the artistic skill of Calopodio da Candia but also serves as a window into Italy's past glory as powerful maritime centers. It reminds us of their enduring legacy as cultural treasures worth exploring even today.
