EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing "Map of Chios" from the renowned Civitates Orbis Terrarum atlas, created by Georg Braun and Frans Hogenberg in the late 16th century. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life this ancient Greek island nestled in the Aegean Sea. The bustling harbor depicted in the print is teeming with activity as ships sail gracefully through its waters. A majestic windmill stands tall on the city's skyline, symbolizing both industry and innovation. In the distance, plumes of cannon fire add an air of excitement to this historical scene. As we delve into this visual masterpiece, we are transported back in time to witness Chios during its golden age. This engraving by Joris Hoefnagel captures not only the physical beauty but also the essence of a thriving port city.

It serves as a reminder that even though time may pass and landscapes change, there will always be tales waiting to be discovered within these ancient maps. This particular piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection allows us to appreciate art's ability to transcend time and connect us with our past.
