EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Map of the Philippines" painted by Egnazio Danti in 1570. The artwork, located in the Sala delle Carte Geografiche (Hall of Geographical Maps) within Palazzo Vecchio, Florence, Italy, is a testament to Danti's mastery as a cartographer. The map itself is an oil painting on panel and offers a remarkable depiction of the Philippine archipelago during that era. With intricate details and vibrant colors, it presents not only the islands but also surrounding regions such as Borneo, Sumatra, and New Guinea. Its inclusion of geographical features like the South China Sea adds depth and context to this historical representation. One cannot help but be drawn to the elaborate cartouche adorning this masterpiece. It serves as both an ornamental element and a source of information about its creator and purpose. Through this map print, viewers are transported back in time to witness how early explorers perceived these lands. Captured with precision by photographer Raffaello Bencini, this image perfectly preserves every brushstroke and nuance found within Danti's original work. As an Italian treasure now out of copyright restrictions, it allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its beauty without limitations or commercial constraints. Whether you are fascinated by cartography or simply captivated by historical paintings, this print offers a glimpse into both artistic excellence and our ever-evolving understanding of geography throughout history.
