EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history: the "Map of the Atlantic, 1534". Crafted by the skilled hands of Jorge Reinel, this manuscript map on parchment transports us back to the Age of Discovery. As we gaze upon its intricate details, we are reminded of the audacious spirit that drove explorers to venture into uncharted waters. The map's focus lies on the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean, serving as a testament to mankind's insatiable desire for exploration and conquest. It offers a glimpse into how people perceived Africa during this transformative period in history. The African continent is depicted with great precision and care, highlighting its diverse landscapes and coastal regions. Reinel's mastery shines through his use of portolan chart techniques, which were prevalent during the Renaissance era. This method allowed sailors to navigate their way across treacherous seas using compass directions and rhumb lines—a true testament to human ingenuity. As we admire this historical artifact captured in stunning detail on parchment, our minds wander back to an era when brave individuals embarked on perilous journeys in search of new lands and riches. This print serves as a reminder that even centuries later, their legacy lives on—inspiring us all to push boundaries and explore what lies beyond our own horizons.
