EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a double-page map of the Atlantic Ocean, specifically highlighting the east coast of North and South America. Created by the talented Italian artist Battista Agnese in 1544, this illuminated manuscript on vellum is a true masterpiece. Measuring approximately 21.8x35 cm, it is part of a larger Portolan Atlas. The intricate details and precision of this map demonstrate Agnese's expertise in cartography. Navigational equipment such as charts and manuscripts were meticulously used to accurately depict the coastline, shorelines, and geographic features of both continents. The vibrant colors and delicate illumination further enhance its beauty. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to an era when maritime exploration was at its peak. This map served as an invaluable tool for sailors navigating across the vast Atlantic Ocean. It not only provided essential information about water currents but also acted as a guide for safe passage along treacherous coastlines. The significance of this piece lies not only in its artistic value but also in its historical importance. It represents a crucial period when European explorers were discovering new lands and expanding their knowledge of the world. Now preserved within a private collection, this rare gem allows us to appreciate Agnese's talent as well as gain insight into our planet's past exploration endeavors.
