EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Mapamundi. Calendar" found in the esteemed collection of Bibliotheque Nationale de France. This remarkable painting, dating back to medieval times, is a true testament to the mastery of Spanish cartography and astronomy. The intricate details depicted in this miniature world map are awe-inspiring. Every stroke of watercolor and ink on paper brings forth a vivid representation of our planet's diverse landscapes and oceans. The artist, Abraham Cresques (1325-1387), skillfully combines astrology with geography by incorporating zodiac signs into this magnificent piece. As we delve into history through this illuminated manuscript, we witness the profound knowledge possessed by medieval astronomers. The Mapamundi not only serves as a navigational tool but also as a calendar, providing insight into celestial events that guided daily life during those times. The fine art images captured within this photograph allow us to appreciate the delicate craftsmanship involved in manuscript illumination. Each stroke reveals an extraordinary level of detail that transports us back to an era where patience and precision were paramount. Let us marvel at this exceptional work of art that bridges centuries together - from its creation during the Middle Ages to its preservation today for all enthusiasts of history and culture to admire at Bibliotheque Nationale de France.
