EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Sea chart of the Strait of Gibraltar" we are transported back in time to the 17th and 18th centuries when explorers and cartographers meticulously mapped the world's seas. The anonymous work, attributed to Johannes van Keulen (II), showcases a beautifully detailed map that captures the essence of early geographical exploration. The chart is adorned with intricate elements such as a compass rose, indicating cardinal directions, and an address scale denoting French miles. This Dutch-English-French collaboration highlights the international significance of the strait, serving as a crucial passage between Europe and Africa. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; one can almost feel the vastness of the sea depicted on paper. It serves as a reminder of humanity's unyielding curiosity for discovery and our relentless pursuit to understand our planet. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, it sparks wonder about those who sailed these treacherous waters centuries ago. Their courage and determination paved the way for future generations to explore beyond known horizons. Quint Lox has skillfully captured this historical artifact through his lens, allowing us to appreciate its beauty from afar. This print invites us into an era where maps were not only navigational tools but also works of art that celebrated human ingenuity.
