EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning map of the Venetian domain, meticulously engraved by the renowned cartographer Willem Blaeu in the 17th century. The intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship of this engraving transport us back in time to an era when Italy and Croatia were connected through their shared borders and maritime routes. The map reveals a fascinating topography, with its coat of arms proudly displayed alongside texts that provide essential guidance for travelers navigating these lands. An angelic figure hovers above, symbolizing divine protection over those embarking on their journeys across this picturesque landscape. A sailing ship gracefully glides along the Adriatic Sea, representing the vital role transportation played in shaping the history of this region. From Istria to Slovenia, from Veneto to Trentino Alto Adige, this comprehensive map encompasses various territories within Europe's rich tapestry. With its horizontal orientation and aerial view perspective, one can almost imagine themselves soaring above these lands as they were centuries ago. The compass serves as a navigational tool guiding explorers through uncharted waters while adding an element of adventure to their travels. This remarkable piece of art captures not only geographical accuracy but also evokes a sense of wonderment about our past. It reminds us how cartography has long been intertwined with human curiosity and exploration—a testament to both our desire for knowledge and our ability to create beauty through engravings like those crafted by Willem Blaeu.
