EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving titled "Turkey - Cyprus" created by the renowned cartographer Gerardus Mercator in 1596. The artwork, now part of a private collection, is a remarkable depiction of the region known as Natoliae sive Asia minor (Asia Minor) during that time. Mercator's attention to detail and precision are evident in this masterpiece, which was originally featured in his famous work "Atlas Ssive Corsmographicae Meditationes". This particular edition was published in Duisburg in 1596. The engraving offers a comprehensive geographical map of Turkey and Cyprus, providing valuable insights into the topography and political boundaries of the area. Luisa Ricciarini has skillfully captured this historical artifact through her lens, preserving its intricate details for generations to come. Her photograph allows viewers to appreciate not only Mercator's artistry but also the rich cultural heritage embedded within this piece. The image transports us back to the 16th century Middle East, where trade routes thrived and empires flourished. It serves as a reminder of how geography has shaped our world throughout history and continues to influence our present-day understanding. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are reminded of the power of art to transcend time and connect us with distant lands and eras long gone.
