EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Sea chart of the coast of Congo, Gabon and Angola". Quint Lox takes us on a visual journey through time and space. The image showcases an intricate map created by an anonymous cartographer in collaboration with Johannes van Keulen (I) between 1683 and 1799. The sea chart, adorned with compasses, roses, and detailed geographical features, reveals the coastal regions of Congo, Gabon, and Angola. It serves as a window into the world of exploration during that era when sailors relied on such maps to navigate treacherous waters. Amidst the rich tapestry of this historical artifact lies a striking juxtaposition: hoofed animals seemingly melting into the sea. This surreal element adds an unexpected twist to our perception of reality. Perhaps it symbolizes how nature's boundaries can blur or how different worlds collide within one map. As we delve deeper into this composition, we notice men in the background engaged in what appears to be religious rituals. They gather around fire while holding melt goods - objects that hold spiritual significance for them. These scenes evoke a sense of spirituality and hint at Christianity's influence along these coasts. Quint Lox masterfully captures not only the physical aspects but also the intangible essence embedded within this sea chart. Through his lens, he invites us to contemplate both history's mysteries and humanity's quest for knowledge amidst vast oceans waiting to be explored.
