EDITORS COMMENTS
In this etching from 1717, we are transported to a world where mythology and geography intertwine. Two men, depicted as giants, stand proudly as they support the weight of the earthly globe upon their shoulders. The map of South America is intricately etched onto the surface of the globe, showcasing its diverse landscapes and rich history. The artist behind this remarkable piece is Jean-Baptiste Nolin, whose talent for capturing both form and detail shines through in every line. This engraving comes from his renowned atlas "Le Theatre du Monde" which was published in 1717. As we gaze at this print, we are reminded of the power that humans possess to shape our world. These mythological characters symbolize our ability to bear the weight of knowledge and understanding about our planet's geography. They serve as a reminder that it is through exploration and discovery that we expand our horizons. Luisa Ricciarini has beautifully captured this allegorical scene with her skilled reproduction technique. Through her work, she brings new life to Nolin's original masterpiece. This print serves not only as a stunning piece of art but also as a testament to humanity's curiosity and thirst for knowledge about our world. It invites us to explore South America's vast beauty while contemplating our place within it.
