EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "The mouth of the Orinoco River, Venezuela, 1720" takes us on a visual journey back to the 18th century. With its intricate details and masterful cartography, this piece showcases the artistry and craftsmanship of Johansen Krause. The image depicts the estuary where the mighty Orinoco River meets the vast Atlantic Ocean. As we gaze upon this vertical composition, we are transported to an era when maps were not just tools for navigation but also works of art. The map provides guidance and direction for travelers exploring Venezuela's rich history and physical geography. It serves as a window into a time when exploration was at its peak. The absence of people in this print allows us to focus solely on nature's grandeur. We witness the wind rose gently blowing across the river, adding movement and life to this static illustration. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from capturing each contour of land along with their corresponding names, to meticulously depicting every curve and tributary that formulates this magnificent river system. This print by Krause invites us to appreciate both the beauty of nature and human ingenuity through cartography. It reminds us that even centuries ago, individuals like Johansen Krause dedicated their talents towards creating timeless pieces that continue to captivate our imagination today.
