EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the essence of navigation in the early 18th century, with a representation of a sailboat gracefully gliding downwind. The plate from an atlas by Pierre Mortier (1661-1711) is a true masterpiece that showcases the artistry and skill of explorers during this time period. The intricate details of the sailboat, from its billowing sails to its sleek hull, transport us back to an era when sea travel was not only a means of transportation but also a symbol of adventure and discovery. The image evokes feelings of excitement and wonder as we imagine the brave explorers who set out on journeys across vast oceans in search of new lands and opportunities. The Biblioteca Angelica de Rome has preserved this historical gem, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating such detailed engravings. This piece serves as a reminder of the importance of navigation in shaping our world and connecting distant shores. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the enduring spirit of exploration that drives humanity forward. It is a testament to our curiosity and determination to chart unknown waters and push beyond our limits. This print is not just a beautiful work of art; it is a window into history that inspires us to continue seeking new horizons.
