EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Lorraine, France (engraving, 1596)" by Gerardus Mercator, takes us back in time to the rich history of this enchanting region. The print showcases a detailed geographical map of Lorraine as it existed in the late 16th century. Created as part of Mercator's renowned work "Atlas Ssive Corsmographicae Meditationes" this piece offers a glimpse into the meticulous cartographic skills and artistic vision of the Flemish master. With intricate lines and delicate shading, Mercator brings to life the diverse landscapes and towns that make up Lorraine. The print is housed within a private collection, adding an air of exclusivity to its historical significance. Its preservation allows us to appreciate not only Mercator's craftsmanship but also Luisa Ricciarini's dedication to preserving such valuable works for future generations. As we admire this engraving, we are transported through time and space. We can imagine ourselves wandering through ancient villages nestled amidst rolling hills or exploring grand castles that once stood proudly along Lorraine's picturesque countryside. This artwork serves as a reminder of how art can transcend centuries, allowing us to connect with past cultures and immerse ourselves in their stories. It is a testament to both human ingenuity and our innate desire to explore and understand our world.
