EDITORS COMMENTS
This detail is taken from the Atlas Novus, or Atlas Maior, a monumental work of cartography created by the renowned Flemish cartographer Jan Blaeu between 1635 and 1665. Published in Amsterdam, this map of Europe, titled Europa recens descripta, showcases an intricate and detailed representation of the European continent during the 17th century. In this particular image, we focus on a couple of Castilian people, depicted in the region of Catalonia, Spain. The etching, created by an unknown artist, masterfully captures the essence of the era, with the couple dressed in traditional attire, their faces expressing a sense of calm and contentment. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring the scene to life, transporting us back in time to the Le Theatre du Monde of the 17th century. It is important to note that this map was not created by the Dutch publishing house of Blaeu & Willem Janszoon, but rather by Jan Blaeu himself. This stunning piece of history is now preserved in the Biblioteca de Catalunya (National Library of Catalonia) in Barcelona.
