EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable pair of globes, both terrestrial and celestial, adorned with the intricate Tughra and Latin inscription of Sultan Murad III. Created by the esteemed cartographer Gerardus Mercator (1512-94), these gilt metal masterpieces measure an impressive 49x29.6 cm each. The terrestrial globe is modeled after Mercator's renowned printed globe from 1541, representing a significant advancement in geographical understanding during the High Renaissance period. Its detailed engravings offer a glimpse into the scientific progress and exploration of that era. The celestial globe, on the other hand, unveils a mesmerizing map of the sky intertwined with astrological symbols. This fusion of artistry and science exemplifies the Northern Renaissance's fascination with mapping not only earthly territories but also heavenly realms. Crafted with exquisite precision and embellished in gold, this pair of globes exudes regal elegance fit for royal patronage. It serves as a testament to Sultan Murad III's appreciation for knowledge and discovery during his reign in Ottoman Turkey. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece captured by eChristies Images, we are transported back to an age where maps were gateways to uncharted lands and astrology held profound significance. Let us marvel at these timeless artifacts that bridge worlds past and present – reminding us of humanity's insatiable curiosity about our place in this vast world.
