EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical map of Italy, specifically Naples, created by Stephan Du Perac and beautifully engraved by Antonio Lafreri in 1712. Housed in the Museo Nazionale di San Martino, this exquisite piece of cartography takes us back to an era where exploration and navigation were paramount. The aerial view depicted in the engraving offers a unique perspective on Naples' coastline, revealing its intricate physical geography with remarkable precision. The carefully detailed sailing boat gracefully glides through the sparkling sea, reminding us of the city's rich maritime history. The map itself is a testament to the artistry and skill involved in creating such masterpieces during that time period. Every line and contour has been meticulously etched onto the surface using an illustration technique that highlights both accuracy and beauty. As we explore this image further, our eyes are drawn to the compass rose elegantly positioned at one corner of the map. It serves as a reminder of how crucial navigational tools were for sailors venturing into unknown territories. With no people present within this scene, our focus remains solely on appreciating the craftsmanship behind this engraved image. The use of Western script adds another layer of historical significance to this artwork. Overall, this print transports us back centuries ago when maps like these were not only practical tools but also works of art that celebrated human curiosity and ingenuity.
