EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable navigation chart from the 16th century, created by the skilled cartographer Agnese Battista. Painted on vellum, this intricate map provides a glimpse into the maritime world of that era. The chart depicts China, Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka), and the Philippines, along with the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. With its detailed representation of coastlines and waterways, this historical artifact served as an essential tool for sailors navigating through the vast Pacific Ocean. Its significance lies not only in its navigational purpose but also in its artistic beauty. The delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors bring life to this ancient map. As we examine this piece closely, we can imagine naval explorers relying on it to traverse uncharted territories during their voyages.
