Painted with oil on panel during the Renaissance period, this masterpiece is housed in the Palazzo Vecchio's Cappella dei Priori in Florence, Italy. The map takes us on an enchanting journey through time and space, revealing intricate details of India's vast landscape. From its northernmost regions like Hindustan and Indostan to its southern territories including Sri Lanka (Ceylon), every inch of this peninsula is meticulously depicted. Bonsignori's artistic skill shines through as he captures not only geographical accuracy but also cultural nuances. The Italian artist effortlessly blends his European perspective with Asian influences, creating a harmonious fusion that reflects both continents' rich history.

These bodies of water served as vital trade routes connecting diverse civilizations throughout centuries past. This print serves as a testament to the enduring power of Renaissance art and its ability to transcend time. It invites us to explore an era when cartography was not merely about navigation but also an expression of curiosity and wonder about distant lands.
