EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Portolan chart of the Mediterranean and Northern Europe, dating back to the late 16th century. Measuring at an impressive 97x60 cm, this illuminated manuscript on vellum is a true testament to the skill and artistry of Italian School artists from that era. Created by Jacopo Scotti (Giacomo Scotto), this intricately detailed map was likely produced in Levanto or Genoa between 1575-1600. The chart provides a comprehensive representation of land masses, seas, and navigational routes during that time period. The close-up view allows us to appreciate the fine craftsmanship and attention to detail put into every aspect of this historical artifact. The use of vibrant colors and delicate illustrations brings life to both the land and sea depicted on the chart. One cannot help but be drawn into this piece as it transports us back in time, offering a glimpse into early seventeenth-century geography. The inclusion of navigational equipment such as compasses adds an element of practicality to its artistic value. With no people present in the image, we are left solely with the beauty and significance of this historic document. It serves as a reminder not only of our past but also our continuous fascination with maps as tools for exploration and understanding.
