This stunning detail from the Portolan Atlas by Joan Martines, created in Messina, Italy, in 1587, offers a captivating glimpse into the cartographical knowledge of the late 16th century. The atlas, housed in the National Library of Spain in Madrid, is a testament to the evolution of geographical understanding during this period. The image showcases the Atlantic coast of South America, with Brazil prominently featured. The vibrant colors and intricate decorative elements add an artistic flair to the cartographical representation.

The Portolan atlas is a significant historical artifact, providing valuable insights into the geographical knowledge of the time. Its illuminated manuscript pages, adorned with decorative elements, underscore the importance of cartography as a scholarly pursuit.
