EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate "WORLD MAP, 1587" created by Juan Martinez for the Atlas Portulano in Madrid during the late Renaissance period. The map, a true testament to the artistry and scientific knowledge of its time, offers a glimpse into how people perceived and understood the world nearly five centuries ago. With its rich details and vibrant colors, this map takes us back to an era when exploration was at its peak. It presents both familiar territories and mysterious lands yet to be discovered, labeled as "terra incognita". As we examine it closely, we can't help but marvel at how different our understanding of geography is today. The map's significance lies not only in its depiction of continents and oceans but also in its portrayal of cultural connections between Eastern and Western civilizations. It serves as a reminder that even in the 16th century, there were extensive trade routes connecting distant corners of the globe. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history suspended on our walls, it sparks curiosity about those who came before us - their ambitions, their thirst for knowledge, and their relentless pursuit of discovery. This World Map from 1587 allows us to appreciate how far humanity has come while reminding us that there will always be more to explore beyond what meets the eye.
