EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving of Poitou, France, created by the renowned cartographer Gerardus Mercator in 1596. The intricate details and meticulous craftsmanship of this artwork transport viewers back to a bygone era. Mercator's depiction of Poitou is part of his larger work titled "Atlas Ssive Corsmographicae Meditationes" which was published in Duisburg in 1596. This particular piece offers a fascinating glimpse into the geographical landscape and cultural richness of the region during that time. The artist, Luisa Ricciarini, has skillfully captured the essence of Mercator's original engraving through her expert photography. The print beautifully preserves every fine line and delicate shading present in the historical map. Poitou itself is brought to life with its charming castles, picturesque landscapes, and enchanting towns. This artwork serves as a testament to both Mercator's mastery as a cartographer and Ricciarini's talent for capturing timeless beauty through her lens. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported back centuries ago when maps were not just navigational tools but also works of art. It reminds us of the rich history embedded within our surroundings and invites us to explore further into the wonders that lie within Poitou, France.
