EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and detailed "Carte Universelle (World Map)" created in 1624 by French School artists. Measuring approximately 46.7x90.45 cm, this ink and watercolor masterpiece on vellum is a true testament to the skill and artistry of its creators. Originally part of the renowned Atlas sive cosmographicae published in Amsterdam in 1619, this world map was painted by Salomon de Caus, a prominent artist of the time. The circular shape of the map adds to its visual appeal, while the French text provides valuable information about various geographic locations. The use of watercolor brings life to land masses and seas alike, creating a harmonious balance between natural spaces depicted on this early seventeenth-century artwork. The oval-shaped composition draws attention to every detail meticulously captured by the talented French artist. As we explore this historic piece, we are transported back in time to an era when navigational equipment relied heavily on maps like these for exploration and discovery. The lettering beautifully complements the overall aesthetic, adding depth and character to each element portrayed. With no people present within this studio shot photograph, our focus remains solely on appreciating the artistic form presented before us. This stunning representation serves as both an educational tool for geography enthusiasts and a decorative object that enhances any space it graces. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured every nuance of this remarkable artwork through their lens, allowing us all to admire its beauty from afar.
