EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a geographic map of the Mediterranean Sea, providing a glimpse into the coasts of Europe and Africa during the 17th century. Created by Francois Ollive in 1646, this intricate artwork is housed in the Musee de la Marine in Paris, France. The map depicts not only the familiar coastlines of countries such as France, Spain, Italy, Tunisia, Algeria, and Egypt but also offers a fantastical twist. The sea itself is teeming with mythical monsters and majestic caravels sailing through its waters. On land, one can observe an array of animals and inhabitants from these regions. With its rich details and vibrant colors, this piece transports viewers back to an era when cartography was still evolving. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and geographical knowledge prevalent during that time period. As we explore this remarkable image captured by Photo Josse for Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of how art has always been intertwined with our understanding of the world around us. This particular photograph allows us to appreciate not only historical accuracy but also imaginative interpretations that bring maps to life.
