EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 16th century showcases a map of the coastal regions of Norway and Sweden. Created by Joannes van Doetecum, a renowned Flemish artist, this artwork is a testament to his exceptional skill in cartography and engraving. The print measures 33-51.5 cm and is housed in the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. The intricate details of this map transport us back to the maritime world of the 16th century. With its vibrant colors and precise markings, it offers an immersive experience into the geography of these Scandinavian countries. The coastline comes alive with its stunning depiction, capturing every contour and curve with remarkable accuracy. As we explore this historic piece, our eyes are drawn to a magnificent humpback whale gracefully swimming through the sea waters depicted on the map. This inclusion adds an element of wonder and intrigue to an already mesmerizing composition. What makes this artwork even more fascinating is that it remains unpopulated; there are no people or vessels present along the coastlines or out at sea. It allows us to appreciate nature's beauty without any human interference, emphasizing the vastness and serenity of these Scandinavian landscapes. Overall, this engraving serves as both a navigational tool for sailors during that era and as a work of art that captures the essence of coastal Norway and Sweden in all their glory.
