EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Geographic chart of the world after the deluge, 1675" takes us back to the 17th century when German artist Athanasius Kircher envisioned a post-apocalyptic world. The intricately detailed engraving showcases Kircher's imaginative interpretation of what the Earth might have looked like after a catastrophic flood. Kircher's map is both a testament to his artistic skill and an intriguing concept. It offers viewers a glimpse into his prediction of how geography would have been altered by such a cataclysmic event. With monochrome precision, he depicts various countries and locations that were known at the time, now transformed by this fictional deluge. The print transports us to an era where cartography was still in its infancy, yet artists like Kircher dared to explore uncharted territories through their illustrations. His work not only reflects his deep understanding of geography but also reveals his creative flair for storytelling. Preserved in Jean Claude Carriere's collection, this remarkable piece serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with predicting and visualizing natural disasters throughout history. As we gaze upon this ancient map, we are reminded of our ancestors' curiosity about the unknown and their relentless pursuit to understand our ever-changing world.
