EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable map illustration from "The Liber Insularum Archipelagi" by Cristoforo Buondelmonti. Measuring 25.4x16.4 cm, this vellum artwork is part of a private collection, offering us a glimpse into the Island of Kos where the legendary Hippocrates was born. The map highlights various significant landmarks on the island, including the house of Hippocrates, dating back to 460-370 BC. Situated in Cos, a Greek island off the coast of Turkey within the Dodecanese archipelago in the Aegean Sea, Kos holds immense historical and cultural significance. This meticulously detailed map provides an invaluable resource for understanding its geographical layout and topography. The artist's skillful rendering captures not only the physical features but also conveys a sense of ancient allure that permeates this Mediterranean gem. From its pristine shores to its enchanting landscapes, every inch of Kos seems imbued with stories waiting to be discovered. Through this photograph by eChristies Images courtesy of Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to explore this idyllic paradise as it existed centuries ago. It serves as a testament to Buondelmonti's mastery as both cartographer and illustrator while reminding us of our timeless fascination with maps and their ability to unlock hidden worlds.
