EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite miniature painting, titled "Chart by Joan Martines. Island of Sicily (1591)," is a testament to the intricate detail and artistic mastery of the late Renaissance period. The illustration depicts the island of Sicily, located in the Mediterranean Sea, with an astonishing level of geographic accuracy. The chart is adorned with vividly colored representations of the island's volcanoes, Mount Etna and Stromboli, which were of significant importance to the maritime commerce of the time. The painting is believed to have been created as an illuminated manuscript, possibly for a wealthy patron involved in the lucrative Mediterranean trade. The volcanic nature of Sicily was a critical factor in the island's commerce, as the volcanic ash and soil provided fertile land for agriculture, particularly for the production of wine and citrus fruits. The island was also a crucial stopover for ships traveling between Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. The painting showcases the advanced cartographic knowledge of the time, with the chart featuring not only the island's coastline but also its interior features, including mountains, rivers, and towns. The volcanoes are depicted with remarkable detail, reflecting the growing interest in volcanology and vulcanology during the Renaissance. The painting's intricate details and vibrant colors are a testament to the artistic skill of Joan Martines, a little-known artist of the period. The Chart by Joan Martines. Island of Sicily (1591) is not only a valuable historical document but also a stunning work of art that continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and intricacy.
