EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 16th century with this stunning print of Abraham Ortelius' 1584 map of Crete, Candia, and 10 Greek islands. This exquisite illustration is a testament to the Flemish cartographer's remarkable skill and attention to detail.
Ortelius, considered one of the most important figures in the history of cartography, created this map during a time when exploration and discovery were at an all-time high. The intricate details on this print showcase his mastery of topography, geography, and illustration.
The map features a beautifully rendered depiction of Crete, known as Candia in ancient times, surrounded by its neighboring islands including Rhodes, Chios, Lesbos, Samos, Icaria, Naxos, Paros, Andros Antiparos and Sifnos. The level of precision and accuracy that Ortelius achieved is truly remarkable considering the limited technology available at the time.
This vintage print is not only a fascinating piece of historical significance but also a work of art that showcases Ortelius' unique style. It would make a wonderful addition to any collection or room decor for those who appreciate history, geography or simply beautiful illustrations.
