EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving titled "Ukraine and Crimea" by Gerardus Mercator, a renowned Flemish cartographer from the 16th century. The intricate details of this historical map take us back to the year 1596 when Ukraine and Crimea were depicted as part of Taurica Chersonesus, also known as Przecopsca et Gazara. Mercator's masterful craftsmanship is evident in every line and curve, beautifully capturing the geographical essence of these regions. This particular engraving was featured in his esteemed work "Atlas Ssive Corsmographicae Meditationes" published in Duisburg in 1596. The significance of this artwork lies not only in its artistic merit but also in its historical context. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage shared between Ukraine and Crimea during that era. As we admire this piece, we are reminded of the complex interplay between nations throughout history. Luisa Ricciarini has skillfully captured this remarkable print through her lens, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. Through her photography, she brings attention to the beauty and importance of historical artifacts like Mercator's engravings. This print invites us on a visual journey through time—a reminder that art can transcend boundaries and connect us with our past.
