EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving titled "Iceland, 1595" by the renowned cartographer Gerardus Mercator. Created in 1596, this masterpiece is a part of the private collection of Luisa Ricciarini. The engraving depicts Iceland as it was perceived during the late 16th century and was originally featured in Mercator's monumental work, "Atlas Ssive Corsmographicae Meditationes". This influential atlas provided invaluable geographical insights and remains a significant contribution to cartography. Mercator's intricate attention to detail is evident in this piece, capturing Iceland's rugged terrain with precision. The map portrays various geographic features such as mountains, rivers, and coastlines that define the island nation's unique landscape. One cannot help but be captivated by the historical significance of this artwork. It serves as a window into both Icelandic history and Mercator's remarkable talent for mapping uncharted territories during his time. Luisa Ricciarini has preserved this exceptional engraving through her private collection, ensuring its longevity for generations to come. As we admire this photograph print today, we are reminded of the enduring beauty found within ancient maps and their ability to transport us back in time.
