EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the world map, known as mappamundi, created by brother Maurus (Mauro) Camaldolese in 1459. The map is an exquisite masterpiece that offers a glimpse into the ancient city of China, then called Cambaluc and now known as Beijing. Fra Mauro, the renowned cartographer from the 15th century, meticulously depicted this Asian marvel on his map. The illumination and intricate details captured in this photograph bring to life the rich geographical landscape of China during the Middle Ages. The vibrant colors used by Fra Mauro beautifully highlight every aspect of this historical city's architecture and natural surroundings. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to witness China's grandeur through its towering pagodas, bustling markets, and serene riverside views. It serves as a testament to both Fra Mauro's exceptional skill as a cartographer and his deep fascination with distant lands. Luisa Ricciarini has masterfully captured this remarkable piece from Biblioteca Nazionale Marciana in Venice, Italy. Through her lens, she allows us to appreciate not only the artistry but also the significance of maps like these in understanding our world's history. This print is an invitation for exploration—a visual voyage that invites us to immerse ourselves in centuries past while appreciating how far we have come today.
