EDITORS COMMENTS
This detail is taken from the Atlas Novus, or Atlas Maior, a seminal work of cartography produced by the renowned Flemish cartographer Jan Blaeu and his team in Amsterdam around 1633. The map, titled Europa recens descripta, offers an intricately detailed representation of Europe during the 17th century. This particular section showcases the city of Venice, a cultural and commercial hub of the time. The etching, which is part of a larger atlas, displays the urban layout of the city, including its iconic Le Theatre du Monde, the Rialto Bridge, and the Grand Canal. Blaeu, who was born in the Netherlands but spent a significant portion of his life in Italy, drew upon the latest cartographic knowledge and techniques to create this masterpiece. The map was published during the height of the Dutch Golden Age, a period marked by significant advancements in cartography and exploration. The Atlas Novus was produced using the most advanced etching techniques of the time, resulting in a highly detailed and visually stunning representation of Europe. This map was part of a larger project, which included the publication of the Atlas Maior, an extensive atlas that covered the entire world. This section of the map, which is now housed in the Biblioteca de Catalunya (National Library of Catalonia) in Barcelona, Spain, offers a glimpse into the urban landscape of Venice during the 17th century. The map's intricate details, from the winding canals to the architectural features of the city, provide a fascinating window into the past and offer a reminder of the rich cartographic heritage of Europe.
