EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Eastern Mediterranean" as depicted in a nautical atlas from 1520. Created by the skilled hand of Giovanni Xenodocus da Corfu, this ink on vellum masterpiece measures 32x22.3 cm and is currently housed in the Museo Correr in Venice, Italy. The image transports us to a time when cartography was still a burgeoning field, and sailors relied on detailed charts like this one to navigate treacherous waters. The map encompasses an expansive region, spanning from Turkey and Greece to the Greek Islands and beyond. It includes notable landmarks such as the Aegean Sea, Crete, Cyprus, Cilician Sea, Anatolia, Red Sea, Black Sea, and parts of the Middle East. Intriguingly enough, amidst this vast expanse of water lies an encampment with several tents pitched along its shores. This inclusion adds a touch of human presence against nature's grandeur—a reminder that even in uncharted territories there were those who sought shelter and sustenance. "The Eastern Mediterranean" serves not only as a historical document but also as a testament to the artistry involved in early cartography. Its intricate details invite viewers to delve into its depths while appreciating both its aesthetic beauty and practical significance. Through this print provided by Fine Art Finder via www. bridgemanart. com we are granted access to an ancient world where exploration met creativity—an era when maps were more than just navigational tools
