EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Atlas Maior, we are transported back in time to an era of exploration and maritime adventure. The sun and the stars take center stage, guiding the sailors on their perilous journey across uncharted waters. Painted by Joan Blaeu in 1662, this coloured engraving captures the essence of a bygone era. The scene is set against a backdrop of rolling waves and billowing sails, as ships navigate through treacherous seas. The flags flutter proudly atop their masts, representing different nations embarking on voyages of discovery. With rigging intricately detailed and every sail perfectly positioned to catch the wind's embrace, these vessels epitomize both beauty and functionality. This image not only showcases the artistry of Blaeu but also serves as a reminder of humanity's insatiable thirst for knowledge and adventure. It transports us to an age when brave explorers sailed into uncharted territories with nothing more than celestial navigation as their guide. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we can almost feel the salty breeze on our faces and hear the creaking timbers beneath our feet. It is a testament to mankind's indomitable spirit that continues to push boundaries even today. This print invites us to marvel at both nature's wonders - symbolized by the sun and stars - as well as human ingenuity in harnessing them for navigation purposes. It reminds us that there will always be new horizons waiting to be discovered if we dare
