EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print showcases a detailed map of the beautiful island of Santorini in Greece, dating back to 1420. Created by Cristoforo Buondelmonti, a Florentine priest and geographer, this parchment map is a part of the 'Book of the Islands of the Archipelago' which covers various islands in the Aegean Sea.
The intricate details on this map provide a glimpse into the geography and architecture of Santorini during the 15th century. From lush trees to majestic castles, every element on this map tells a story about life on this enchanting island centuries ago.
As you study this historical piece, you can almost imagine yourself wandering through the winding streets and admiring the traditional Greek dwellings that dot the landscape. The Mediterranean Sea surrounding Santorini adds an extra layer of beauty to this already picturesque scene captured by Buondelmonti.
This print not only serves as a valuable historical artifact but also as a reminder of the timeless charm and allure of Santorini.
