EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - a detailed map of Northern South America from a world atlas dating back to 1565. Created by the talented Portuguese cartographer Diego Homem, this exquisite work of art is now housed in The National Library of Russia in St. Petersburg. The intricate details and delicate craftsmanship on vellum transport us back to an era when exploration and discovery were at their peak. This map offers a glimpse into the geographical knowledge and understanding of the time, depicting countries such as Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador, Brazil, and more. As we study this ancient map closely, we are drawn into its rich tapestry of information. The mighty Amazon River winds its way through lush rainforests while the majestic Andes Mountains stand tall against the horizon. Each line and contour tells a story of conquests made by explorers who ventured into unknown territories. This print serves as a reminder that maps have always been powerful tools for understanding our world's past and present. It invites us to appreciate both the beauty and historical significance encapsulated within this single image. Through this artwork by Diego Homem, we can explore not only Northern South America but also delve deeper into humanity's insatiable curiosity for exploration and knowledge throughout time.
