Durer, a renowned German artist of the early 16th century, was celebrated for his mastery of perspective and mathematical proportions. In collaboration with Nuremberg astronomer Johann Stabius, he created this groundbreaking map by combining Ptolemy's original map with additions from Behaim's Globe of 1492.
