EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the breathtaking beauty of Cape Sagres, also known as Sacred Cape, located at the southernmost tip of Portugal. The image is a reproduction of an engraving from Luca J. Waghenaer's portulan, titled "Treesor of zeevaert" which was printed in Leiden in 1592 by the Netherlandish School. The enchanting landscape captured in this artwork transports viewers to a time when exploration and cartography were at their peak. The intricate details and precision of the geographical map highlight the skill and expertise of Waghenaer, who meticulously depicted every contour and feature of Cape Sagres. As we gaze upon this historic print, we are reminded of Portugal's rich maritime heritage and its significant role during the Age of Discovery. This sacred cape served as a crucial navigational landmark for sailors venturing into uncharted waters, guiding them safely through treacherous seas. The composition exudes a sense of tranquility with its lush greenery contrasting against the azure blue ocean waves crashing against rocky cliffs. It invites us to ponder upon nature's grandeur while appreciating mankind's quest for knowledge and adventure. This remarkable piece from Giancarlo Costa's private collection not only celebrates Portuguese history but also pays homage to the artistry behind cartography during the 16th century. It serves as a testament to human curiosity and our eternal fascination with exploring new horizons – both geographically and artistically.
