EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sea chart of the Norwegian coast near Bergen, created by the talented duo Jan Luyken and Johannes van Keulen I. Dating back to the late 17th or early 18th century, this exquisite piece of cartography is an ode to both artistry and geographical precision. The map itself is adorned with intricate details that transport us into a world where mythological figures like Neptune and Poseidon reign supreme. Mermen gracefully swim alongside cornucopias overflowing with abundance, while playful squirrels scurry about, adding a touch of whimsy to this maritime masterpiece. Intriguing symbols such as compasses and roses guide our eyes across the map's carefully etched lines, leading us through coastal cities and towns crowned with regal splendor. A prominent cartouche proudly displays its address amidst swirling waves, reminding us of the importance placed on accurate navigation during those times. Beyond its practical purpose as a navigational aid for sailors braving treacherous waters, this sea chart also serves as a testament to religious devotion. Christian symbolism intertwines seamlessly within the artwork; holy imagery featuring God himself watches over ships sailing towards their destinations. Quint Lox's expertly captured photograph allows us to appreciate every minute detail of this historical artifact. It invites viewers into an era when maps were not only tools but works of art that celebrated both human ingenuity and spirituality in equal measure.
