EDITORS COMMENTS
This detail is taken from the Atlas Novus, or Atlas Maior, a 17th-century world map created by the renowned Dutch cartographer Jan Blaeu. Printed in Amsterdam around 1635, this etching showcases the Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The temple, located in present-day Turkey, is depicted in stunning detail, with its grand columns and intricate decorative elements standing out against the horizontal, colorful backdrop of the world map. The Atlas Novus was a significant achievement in cartography during the early modern period, featuring the latest geographical and hydrographical knowledge available at the time. The map's intricate design includes various decorative elements, such as the depictions of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, which adorn the map's edges. The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus was a marvel of ancient architecture, dedicated to the Greek goddess of the hunt, wilderness, wild animals, the Moon, and chastity. The temple was renowned for its grand scale and architectural beauty, attracting visitors from all corners of the ancient world. This detail from the Atlas Novus offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the world was still a mystery waiting to be explored. The sunlight streaming in through the window casts a warm glow over the intricate etching, highlighting the fine details and bringing the ancient temple to life once more.
