EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "MEDITERRANEAN SEA, 1483. The Mediterranean Sea as a highway of commerce" takes us back in time to the bustling maritime world of the Renaissance era. A woodcut from Joannes de Hildesheims' renowned work "The Legend of the Three Kings" this image beautifully captures the essence of trade and travel during that period. In this scene, we witness a vibrant Mediterranean Sea teeming with life and activity. A majestic sailing ship dominates the foreground, its sails billowing in the wind as it glides through calm waters. Men on board are engaged in various tasks, perhaps merchants overseeing their valuable cargo or sailors navigating their way through this vast sea. Beyond the ship lies an expansive view of medieval coastal towns and villages dotted along the coastline. These settlements serve as crucial hubs for commerce and exchange, connecting different cultures and civilizations across Europe, Africa, and Asia. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this woodcut print - from intricate depictions of fish swimming beneath the surface to meticulously crafted architectural structures lining the shore. This artwork not only showcases maritime transportation but also highlights how vital trade was for economic growth during that time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back centuries ago when brave explorers embarked on perilous journeys across these very waters to seek new opportunities and forge connections between distant lands. It serves as a reminder of our shared history shaped by exploration, discovery, and above all else -
