EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to 17th century Italy, specifically Novara and its Province. The engraving, skillfully created by Blancus and printed in Milan in 1667, showcases the artistry of cartography during this era. The focal point of the image is a magnificent figure of Hercules, symbolizing strength and power. The composition is beautifully balanced with a horizontal orientation that allows us to appreciate the intricate details of the map. It depicts physical geography with precision, providing valuable insight into the region's topography and landmarks. In this enchanting scene, we see one mature man outdoors, engrossed in studying the map. His presence adds depth to the image as he represents exploration and travel. Perhaps he seeks guidance or inspiration from Hercules himself as he embarks on his journey through Novara. The inclusion of Cupid suggests that love and passion are intertwined with discovery and adventure. This evokes ideas about human curiosity driving progress throughout history. Overall, this historical piece seamlessly combines artistry with practicality. It serves as a testament to both craftsmanship and innovation within Western script during this period
