EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed view of the archipelago of Borneo, taken from the world map (mappamundi) created by Brother Maurus (Mauro) Camaldolese in 1459. The original map is housed in the Biblioteca Marciana in Venice, Italy. The image transports us back to the 15th century, during the height of exploration and discovery. It offers a glimpse into how people perceived geography and cartography during that time period. Borneo, an island located in Southeast Asia, takes center stage in this particular section of the map. Its intricate details depict various geographical features and landmarks unique to this region. From lush forests to winding rivers and sprawling coastlines, every element is meticulously illustrated. The artist's skillful rendering captures both the beauty and complexity of Borneo's landscape. This visual representation not only serves as a historical record but also sparks curiosity about past civilizations' understanding of distant lands. Luisa Ricciarini expertly photographed this remarkable piece with great attention to detail and lighting. Her lens allows us to appreciate every stroke made by Fra Mauro over five centuries ago. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply intrigued by history, this print offers a fascinating window into our collective past—a testament to human curiosity and exploration that continues to inspire us today.
