EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sea chart of the northwestern part of the Baltic Sea, near the Swedish coast. Created by renowned cartographers Jan Luyken and Johannes van Keulen in the late 17th century, this map is a true masterpiece of geographical artistry. The intricate details on this sea chart are truly awe-inspiring. The compass roses elegantly guide sailors through treacherous waters, while the cartouche proudly displays French miles for accurate navigation. As we delve deeper into its composition, our eyes are drawn to a striking female human figure at its center. Symbolizing strength and resilience, she stands amidst fire elements with tools of a blacksmith - hammer and pliers - in her hands. This enigmatic woman personifies both the power of nature's elements and human craftsmanship. Notably, a heart-shaped symbolism adorns her chestplate, reminding us that love can conquer all obstacles even in perilous seas. Crown towns dotting the coastline signify their importance as key trading hubs during that era. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece from Quint Lox's Liszt Collection, we are transported back to an age when maps were not just navigational aids but works of art themselves. It serves as a testament to humanity's unyielding curiosity about our world and our relentless pursuit to explore every corner of it.
