Born in France in 1633, Sanson dedicated his life to creating intricate and detailed maps that showcased the beauty and complexity of various regions. One of his notable works is the "Map La Seignevrie d'Ovest-Frise ou Frise Occidentale, " which highlights the western part of Frisia with meticulous precision. Another masterpiece, the "Map Carte nouvelle du duché et légation de Ferrare, " showcases Ferrara's territory with such accuracy that it transports you back to its golden age. Sanson's talent extended beyond Italy as well. The "Map Carte nouvelle du territoire de Verone" captures Verona's essence flawlessly, while the "Map Carte nouvelle de l'isle et royaume de Sardagne &c" takes you on a journey through Sardinia's enchanting landscapes. Venturing further east, we encounter Sanson's depiction of Venice in the "Map L'état de la république de Venise. " This map encapsulates not only Venice but also its surrounding territories, showcasing Sanson's ability to capture vast areas accurately. Moving southwards, we discover more treasures like the "Map Carte nouvelle du duché de Modène" and its neighboring regions Reggio and Carpi. These maps provide invaluable insights into these Italian provinces during their historical heyday. Sanson was not limited to Italy alone; he ventured northward too.
