EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable sea chart of the Canary Islands, created by renowned print makers Jan Luyken, Johannes van Keulen I, and an unknown artist around 1680. The intricate details of this map transport us to a world where exploration and cartography were at their peak. The chart features a stunning compass rose that guides our eyes towards the north, revealing the extensive coastlines and diverse geographical areas of Tenerife and Gran Canaria. As we delve deeper into this masterpiece, we encounter various fishes swimming gracefully in the surrounding seas, adding an element of life to this otherwise static representation. Notably, Prudentia - the Roman personification of prudence - stands prominently on this map. Symbolizing wisdom and foresight in decision-making, she reminds us of the importance of careful navigation in these uncharted waters. With its meticulous attention to detail and precise scale measurements in German, Spanish, English, and French miles; this sea chart served as an invaluable tool for sailors venturing into these treacherous yet alluring waters. It not only provided essential information about coastal regions but also offered insights into the wider world beyond. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured through Quint Lox's lens from Liszt Collection; we are transported back in time to an era when maps held immense power - connecting people with distant lands while unraveling mysteries yet to be explored.
