EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 16th century, immersing us in the rich history and beauty of Southern Portugal and the Kingdom of Algarve. The image is a reproduction from Lucas Janszoon Waghenaer's renowned work, "Speculum Nauticum super Maris Navigation Occidentalis Contectum" published in 1586. The map depicted here serves as both a guide and a testament to the incredible artistry of cartography during this era. With intricate details and precision, Waghenaer captures the essence of this region with its sprawling coastlines along the Mediterranean Sea. The horizontal composition allows for an immersive experience, inviting viewers to explore every nook and cranny of this historical treasure. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are transported to a time when sailing ships ruled these waters. The absence of people adds an air of mystery, allowing our imagination to run wild with tales of exploration and adventure that unfolded on these shores centuries ago. The Western script inscribed on the map provides further insight into how knowledge was shared during that period. It reminds us that maps were not just practical tools but also works of art created by skilled craftsmen like Waghenaer. This print is a window into Portugal's past—a reminder that even in today's modern world, there is still much we can learn from history about navigation, geography, and cultural heritage.
