EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Red Sea and the Suez Canal (portulan, 1602)" by Giacomo Maggiolo. The artwork, housed in the Museo Navale di Pegli in Genoa, Italy, offers a glimpse into the cartography of the 17th century. Created by Jacopo Vesconte Maggiolo, this grand portulan depicts the coastal coasts of Europe and North Africa on parchment. Measuring an impressive 1245x867mm, this historical map takes us back to a time when geographical knowledge was still being explored. It highlights the intricate details of the African continent and its connection to Egypt through the iconic Suez Canal. The vibrant red hues symbolize both the name of this famous sea and its rich history. Luisa Ricciarini's expert photography captures every fine detail with precision and clarity. Through her lens, we can appreciate not only the artistic beauty but also gain insight into how early explorers navigated these waters centuries ago. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, it serves as a reminder of humanity's thirst for discovery and our ability to chart unknown territories. This print is a testament to both past achievements in cartography and present appreciation for historical artifacts that continue to inspire awe today.
