EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print showcases a magnificent map of Sicily, or the Kingdom of Naples, created by the talented cartographer Giovanni Antonio Rizzi-Zannoni in Paris around 1691-1693. Commissioned by the King of the Two Sicilies, this copperplate masterpiece measures an impressive 150 x 135 cm. The intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship of this artwork transport us back to Italy's rich history during the 17th century. With its vertical orientation and overhead view, it offers a comprehensive guide for travelers seeking direction and exploration within these ancient lands. The map not only depicts physical geography but also highlights the importance of sea routes along the coastline. The Mediterranean Sea plays a significant role in connecting various regions within this kingdom. Rizzi-Zannoni's artistry shines through as he skillfully combines illustration and painting techniques to create a visually captivating piece. This print captures every minute detail with precision, allowing us to appreciate his mastery even centuries later. As we gaze upon this remarkable work, we are reminded of how maps have served as invaluable tools throughout history—guiding explorers, merchants, and adventurers alike.
