EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate engraving titled "The Kingdoms of Galicia, Asturies, Leon, Castilla Vieja with the Council of Biscallia" by G. Zuliani. Originally published in Venice in 1776 by Antonio Zatta, this artwork is now part of a private collection in Florence. The engraving itself represents a significant piece of cartography from the eighteenth century. It embodies both Renaissance and Baroque styles and periods, reflecting the artistic influences prevalent during that time. The detailed depiction of the kingdoms within Spain evokes a sense of historical significance and geographical accuracy. As an allegorical representation, this artwork symbolizes not only the territories it portrays but also abstract concepts associated with them. Through its meticulous rendering, it serves as both a topographical map and an instrument for understanding the geography and modern history of these nations. The photograph was taken in 2009 while capturing this remarkable piece from Alinari's collection.
