EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The entire Mediterranean Basin" as depicted on a nautical chart created by Calopodio da Candia in the 16th century. The intricate details of this ink on vellum artwork come to life, measuring 40.3x60 cm and currently housed at the Museo Correr in Venice, Italy. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, our eyes are drawn to the vast expanse of the Mediterranean Sea, surrounded by various regions and countries that have shaped its rich history. From the Black Sea to the Red Sea, from Europe to the Middle East, every corner of this diverse basin is meticulously mapped out. The chart not only highlights major geographical features such as peninsulas and islands but also includes important cities along its shores. Each city is marked with a flag representing its respective country, adding a touch of vibrancy to an otherwise monochromatic piece. A compass rose elegantly indicates north while guiding seafarers through these treacherous waters. This map serves as both a navigational tool and a testament to human curiosity and exploration during that era. "The entire Mediterranean Basin" offers us a glimpse into centuries past when cartography was still evolving. It reminds us of how far we have come in understanding our world's geography while appreciating the artistry behind these early maps.
