This antique map of Daphne takes us on a journey back in time to the 17th century. Created by the renowned Dutch cartographer Joan Blaeu, this coloured engraving is a true masterpiece from his Atlas Major collection. The print showcases an aerial view of the temple of Daphne, located near Antiocha in Syria. With its mixture of myth and history, this artwork transports us to a world where ancient legends intertwine with reality. Blaeu meticulously prepared this map based on various ancient sources such as Ammianus, Strabo, and Philostratus. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and allows us to explore the narrative of this enchanting town. The landscape depicted in this print is nothing short of breathtaking. The lush forest surrounding Daphne adds depth and beauty to the scene, while the winding Orontes River meanders through the countryside. From high above, we can observe every detail - from rooftops and streets to distant horizons. This antique map not only serves as a historical document but also captivates our imagination with its baroque style and intricate details. It reminds us that even centuries later, art has the power to transport us across time and space.
