EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a hand-coloured engraving of the "Map of Iceland" from the renowned Atlas Maior Sive Cosmographia Blaviana. Created by the talented Dutch cartographer and artist, Joan Blaeu, in 1662, this map is considered one of his finest works. The intricate details and vibrant colours bring to life the geographical features and navigational equipment of late seventeenth-century Iceland. Published as part of what is often hailed as the greatest atlas ever printed, this map holds historical significance and artistic beauty. It offers a glimpse into European cartography during the 17th century, showcasing Blaeu's mastery in capturing geographic accuracy while adding his own artistic flair. The hand-colouring technique used on this engraving adds depth and richness to every line and contour. The capital letters scattered throughout indicate important landmarks or cities within Iceland, further enhancing its navigational value. As we admire this piece, we are transported back in time to an era when maps were not only practical tools but also works of art. With no people present in the image, our focus solely rests on the exquisite craftsmanship that went into creating such a masterpiece. This print serves as a testament to Johannes Blaeu's skill as both an artist and cartographer while reminding us of Iceland's unique geography and its place within European history.
