EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving from the Atlas Major, 1662 offers a mesmerizing view of antique Thessaly. Created by Joan Blaeu in Amsterdam, this print showcases the beauty and grandeur of ancient Greece. The aerial perspective allows us to admire the landscape from a bird's eye view, revealing the stunning natural features that define Thessalia. Mount Olympus majestically rises in the distance, its snow-capped peaks reaching towards the heavens. The Peneus River gracefully winds through the valley, adding life and vitality to this picturesque scene. As our gaze travels further, we catch a glimpse of the Aegean Sea shimmering under the golden sunlight. The print also includes significant architectural elements that transport us back in time. An altar dedicated to Jupiter stands proudly amidst lush greenery, while an imposing temple commands attention on a hilltop. These structures serve as reminders of ancient Greek civilization and their devotion to gods and goddesses. Intriguingly, figures can be seen swimming and feasting along the riverbank – perhaps enjoying leisurely activities during warmer days or celebrating festive occasions. This lively depiction adds depth and human presence to an otherwise serene landscape. With its baroque style and meticulous details, this print is not only visually striking but also provides valuable historical insights into ancient Thessaly. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in a world long gone yet forever preserved within these vibrant colours and intricate engravings.
