EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Ischia, 1642" takes us back to the mid-17th century and showcases the artistic brilliance of Dutch cartographers Willem Blaeu (1571-1638) and Joan Blaeu (1596-1673). Measuring 49.2x65.4 cm, this double-page print is part of a private collection. The artwork presents Ischia, an enchanting island located off the coast of Italy. The attention to detail in this piece is remarkable; every stroke brings out the beauty of Ischia's landscape with precision. The vibrant colours used by the artists breathe life into this seventeenth-century map. Intriguingly, there are no people depicted in this scene, allowing viewers to focus solely on Ischia's natural splendor. The presence of navigational equipment suggests that this print may have been created for exploratory or educational purposes during a time when maritime travel was expanding. The Blaeu brothers were renowned for their exceptional cartographic skills and their publication "Theatrum orbis terrarum" further solidified their reputation as leading European mapmakers. This particular engraving exemplifies their mastery in capturing geographic details while infusing them with artistic flair. As we gaze upon this historic artwork, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen within the pages of history—a testament to both human curiosity and artistic expression.
