EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of cartographic history, "Provence and Northern Italy" taken from a nautical atlas dating back to 1520. Created by the skilled hand of Giovanni Xenodocus da Corfu, a prominent figure in the 16th century, this ink on vellum masterpiece is now housed in the prestigious Museo Correr in Venice, Italy. The intricate details and precision evident in this map transport us back to an era when exploration and navigation were at their peak. The artist's expertise shines through as he meticulously captures the cities and ports that dot the Mediterranean Sea. From Genoa to Marseille, each location is carefully marked with accuracy and finesse. As we gaze upon this historical artifact, we are reminded of the importance of maps during this time period. Serving as vital tools for sailors and merchants alike, these charts played a crucial role in guiding ships safely across treacherous waters while facilitating trade between nations. With its rich colors and delicate lines etched onto vellum, this print not only offers us a glimpse into past maritime adventures but also serves as a testament to the artistry involved in early cartography. It stands as both an educational resource for understanding our world's history and a visually stunning work of art that can be appreciated by all who encounter it.
