EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historic geographic map of the Mediterranean Sea and the Black Sea, created by Francois Ollive in 1646. The map beautifully depicts the coasts of Europe, including France, Spain, Italy, as well as Africa with Tunisia, Algeria, and Egypt. What makes this map truly fascinating is its imaginative portrayal of the sea and land. In the vast expanse of water, we see an array of mythical monsters alongside caravels sailing through these treacherous waters. These fantastical creatures add an element of mystery to the otherwise familiar geography. On land, every region comes to life with various animals and inhabitants depicted in intricate detail. To distinguish each country on this remarkable map, their respective coat of arms is proudly displayed. This attention to detail not only adds visual interest but also provides historical context for understanding political boundaries during that era. Preserved at Musee de la Marine in Paris today, this artwork serves as a testament to Ollive's skillful cartography and his ability to blend reality with imagination. Through this photograph taken by Photo Josse from Fine Art Finder (not mentioning commercial use), we are able to appreciate both the artistry behind this ancient map and gain insight into how people perceived their world centuries ago.
